I have read of local gun smiths who were known to take a Parker and upgrade it and sell it locally, some did decent work but were not trying to fake it, just using a set of barrels and an action to built something that would be good afield and make a little money for their efforts. This could be one of those, the no safety appears to be factory and I would bet not all the serial numbers matched but as one old guy told me regarding changing serial numbers, Heck, I can do that while having lunch??? But, the thought makes a collector cringe. Just another unsolved mystery in life!
