As is true with many graded Parkers, the replacement of barrels and forend are often downgraded to save money for the owner. The full B Grade replacement would include Acme Steel barrels and a B Grade checkering and engraving pattern. This downgrading is apparently the case with this gun. This should not affect the value of this wonderful gun. Contact Mr. Dawe for repair work, both wood and metal.

I am not sure about anything having been changed but the barrels alone. Are there examples of the serial stampings on these parts from known replacements? The font size of the latch, iron and tip match the frame exactly. The barrels show the later style number size of the 1920’s.
Being the last BH made originally with titanic steel barrels, I like that it was re-fitted with a pair of titanic steel even though at time of replacement, B grade barrels would have been acme.
