In my PM to you I suggested you join the club and order a letter for your gun. Congratulations and best wishes.

Many thanks. Still having a bit of trouble with navigation (PMs vs Posts)
Please be patient - - I will figure it out - -

I think your advice is excellent. I would prefer an 'expert' knowledgeable in early Parker shotguns - - . I expect the person I am hunting for might be easier to find in New England than Texas, but if I can find the right guy in Houston or Dallas, it would be easier to give him the gun for a week or two, rather than take 100 pictures, and still overlook something - -

It seems like this is the forum to start my search for an expert. Do you have any suggestions for which 'board'/(room/heading) would be best?

Congratulations on your Parker. We certainly have members in TX. I hope one sees your post and chimes in regarding checking your lifter out.
