It is a nice looking gun and an excellent first Parker. Congratulations.

As you noted, there is not much case color coverage left on the action frame. I suspect that is carry wear because the gun looks mechanically very sound. Note the broaching or radial file marks on the barrel breech ends. Those are factory finishing marks and wear off as the gun is used and opened and closed. Yours remain distinct. This gun has been cared for and not used until worn out.

Enjoy.

We may see more in the Northeast than you see in Georgia, but we don't see many as nice as that.

Yup, the broaching or chasing on the breech of the barrels is seldom seen on field used Parkers. I don't think all Parkers had it when new.

I noticed that also. There is more than what shows in the pic. Bruce I wondered who would be the first to see that. I take that as a good sign of little use. Some things the camera will show up and some things it doesn't. It was cloudy today and so I thought light might be good for pics and I wanted to see how many I could post. I have another one I think I will post some pics of also. We all like to look don't we? I will post as many as I have. Thanks Fellows. Gerald.
