It is NOT original.

As in this is a real Parker for sale or a scam?
As in did someone actually go through the effort to do an Invincible upgrade?
I know the three real ones are in a museum.
The description said something about paying 20 grand for it but now listed for 10 grand, seems kind of fishy. That's why I suspect it's legitimacy.

It is what it is, an upgrade in poor taste. A lot of work went into that gun.

Remove the gold work, and case harden the receiver, and I could like it.

To be honest , I kind of like it !! A 16 Gauge with Gorgeous Wood , Beautiful Engraving and a Gold Grouse on the floor plate ! Imagine what all this Wood work and Bling would cost in today's market ! The only detractor for me is the Butt Pad and the overall weight of the gun ! If I were planning on " Blinging "up a lower grade Parker which I am not but , It would seem like a buy to me ! Just my Opinion !
