Edgar, you clearly posted "marked C" in the first line of your last post. Jim, that Mike fellow not only won't spring for a letter when it could sell a $4000 gun for him, but he won't even show your letter on gunbroker when he has it in his possession. He has had a gun for several years. About once a year I ask him if I can see a letter on that gun. About once a year, I get no response.

My Bad, you're right, but ordinarily, one would think "4" and "C" were synonymous.

They are synonymous, but this gun is different. However, the Mike guy won't share the letter, even if he doesn't have to pay for it. An interesting gun for sure.

In the recent Guyette & Deeter auction, there was a lessor grade gun with a B grade checkered stock, and if I remember, there was documentation that is was ordered. Maybe on a subsequent return to Parker, but still.....

Last time I checked, letters were $40. I think you can request a letter on any serial number, or is that a no no?

Yes, anyone can request a letter.
