OK, so it has a single rib around the breech balls and none of the engraving matches a Parker with single rib breech balls. That means the ribs were fabricated on a lower grade gun and the gun then poorly engraved, OR a high grade gun with single rib has had all of its engraving removed and then reengraved. It would be so easy to answer these questions if Mr. Murphy would post pictures of the barrel flats and water table. Whoa, it has been sold and is off the net. Funny, there wasn't a part of that gun worth five dollars to a restorer. Was this the most thoroughly destroyed Parker we have ever seen, or am I missing something?
