Confused about a Parker gun listed on GB.

Records show a $200 gun in 1899 and it's a Quality BH.

As indicated by the B4, it’s obviously a hybrid.

Are we looking at the same 90681? Serialization book says TI4 with added set of barrels.
Looking closer at the stock, I think it's been re-checkered in a B grade style, but doesn't have fleur di lis, but a drop point, as a C would have. Cheeks 'could be' factory checkered, but with all that's been done, that's a Big ? too.
Calling it a B grade is big stretch to my mind, but $5500 is an even bigger stretch.

Yes, same gun

I agree with Brian. The "4" looks like it was stamped yesterday. I can't imagine why anyone would stamp a 4 above a B stamp. I have had enough of asking Mike for a letter on a gun he has for sale. Maybe someone else can ask him. Jim says Mike has the letter.

Interesting. So, the 'book' is wrong? Bill, when you get the letter, be sure to post it
