Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Thank you for all of your help gentlemen, I really appreciate it. I know to do everything will be expensive for sure. I might need to do it in stages. The serial numbers between the receiver and the forestock do not match and its in bad shape. Mechanically everything's seems to be in order, tight on face and the barrels ring true. I'm mostly looking for a nice gun for me that I can hunt with once in a while and still be a show piece in my collection. All of my other vintage side by sides are basic field models from Fox, Ithaca and Lefever. I thought a DH grade Parker was a higher grade gun and that's when I'm interested in restoring it.

Gee Ben, I was on your team until this little known fact came out. Start over by replacing that parts gun with one with good bones and then go for it. At least then you'll have something you can sell for 25% of what you spent instead of 5% of what you spent.
