I agree David. The dolls head fit isn’t the best either.

Factory? I don't think so. You would think he would know one when he sees one. That is as close to Parker case colors as you will find. Why don't all Turnbull jobs turn out like that?

I would invest another $400 to repair or refit the doll's head. Are we sure Turnbull did this job? A PGCA letter would clear up a lot of questions.

He stated that Turnbull did the work and they look like his colors. Order a letter and find out the order book configuration.

Those pictures don't show me anything that would seem to suggest that is a Parker Factory rib. That gun if I'm not mistaken was manufactured in 1909 which would further suggest that is not a factory rib. I suppose at some point it could have been sent back and had the rib installed at the factory. I would have to see that in a research letter before I would even believe that.

A factory installed set of retrofit vent rib barrels would have a perfectly fit doll's head.
