Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

My thoughts are also a custom gun. Done a long time ago by the looks of it.
It is an attractive gun and very well done. It just started as an A grade and went from there.
The major thing about the engraving that does not look like anything that would have come out of the factory is the work crossing over the trigger plate and the frame vs. using borders to define the different parts.
And the grip and checkering looks to be i spired by Lefever, Ithaca and maybe a touch of a few others too.
Interesting find. A card request with the Fox group would tell you the story for sure.

The fellow that sold me that gun said he was originally from the Baton Rouge area and his grandfather owned etc etc . I don’t think they bought it new however . Anyway this fellow moved to VA he claimed 40+ years ago . Evidently his predecessors used it rather heavily in the Louisiana bayou
