Just got my first Parker

[Chris Robenalt]

Would like to say welcome and very pretty shooter! Most of mine aren't that pretty, but they are all original. I usually look at the bores, and look for an unaltered tight action. Make sure your barrels are on face. Then I check the wood for cracks. If all looks to be sound, then I shoot em! You should consider the next step, and join the PGCA. Lots of camaraderie, and people ready to help with all or any questions you have. It's a great move if you join. What's your next Parker?

I have been a member, Chris. I must have just let it lapse. I'll renew and get caught back up on things. When I got the gun, it stated that it had been professionally refinished, but at the time I didn't find out by whom. From everything I've read, it's pretty hard to get who did it without the previous owners name, which I don't have. And yes, I will be shooting her soon.
