About 2 months ago, I bid on one very near it in serial number and similar in specification. It had a totally missing hammer and quite honestly was pretty much a wreck. I wanted it because you don't see Parkers this old very often. My oldest is in the 4000 range and a whole other class of gun. This one, too me, is in really nice condition all things considered. The one I bid on went to what I thought was a silly level at the time considering condition. I would let someone knowledgeable examine the gun in person before I did anything bu clean the barrels in a normal way and lube evertyhing to protect it.

Thanks for sharing that story, Art, and the advice. I plan to proceed in just the way you described.
