The finish on your D is very nice. What did you use to get the blue off? Did it have any negative effect, like etching of the surface? I have two blued Parkers that I would consider removing the blue from if they came out looking like yours. Thanks.

As for getting a letter I did get one and received it this week. I'm in the process of researching the past owners name. I believe that it had checkering on the wood and believe that it is a higher grade that a D comparing it to pictures in the Parker Story. As for removing the blue I used blue and rust remover, cleaned it and then lightly posished with fine greaseless slow moving buffing wheel and oiled. I still need to redo barrels. I will keep everyone in the loop as for what I find out on previous owner.

The four pin lock's are typical of D Grade and higher guns. Good luck on your quest for info on the original owner.

I will give you what I can on the original owner mentioned in the PGCA letter if you will share the name with me. My email is wilmrph@verizon.net. I have a bit of research material on early competitive shooters.
