It probably is a Parker, its just not the Parker we deal with here. We see this mistake frequently. It was probably intended to confuse 100 years ago, and still catches people today. We have a website showing Parkers, we have FAQ's, we have books on Parkers, we show hundreds of photos of Parkers here, we have collectors that volunteer to help first timers, and still it catches people.
So, I suspect the salesman was right, it is a Parker, and the salesman showed her other Parkers, right? Look, when you go to buy a Parker, you find out what grade it is, you check the barrel length, you maybe check the serial number, right? You check to make sure its not just another Belgium clunker T Parker, Parker, Barker, etc. Aren't all those things what a prudent buyer does?
Maybe the Cabelas salesman doesn't know squat about Parkers either, isn't that what you guys have been saying? I've seen several times here about how they don't know anything about PArkers, can't tell the gauge, don't know if barrels are cut, don't know the grade, etc, and some here are happy that they paid far less than the gun would fetch elsewhere because the salesman didn't know his Parkers.
Look I don't know what should happen here......but caveat emptor always.
