I think someone misinterpreted The Parker Story. Browse through the C Grade chapter of "The Grades" section in Volume 1.

My bad! It isn't the Parker Story that states C's can have checked side panels, it's the grade information area on this site that has the reference.

I included the picture of the butt because someone mentioned it looked like there was a piece of leather on the butt. I thought the same thing and asked for the picture.

I hope Forrest enjoys the gun !! I almost sprung for it myself.

I think I'll just refrain from offering my opinion. This very nice CHE thread doesn't need varying opinions... it's just a darn nice gun that I would buy, given the opportunity.

And yet that was what Forrest was asking for in his OP - forum opinions. Sounds like a "want" rather than a "need" in interpreting his evaluation of the gun.

At the price you got it for I think it is a great buy. Even if it isn't 100% original I sure would like to own it. Enjoy it Forrest.

Nice gun. I like it. By the way, I have Kevin M. to thank for my $400 cased CH Bernard two barrel set. I have Kevin's brother, Tom, to thank for finding my $700 Acme barrel CH. I don't seem to be able to find any of these things by myself. It's great to have friends.

Nice gun if you can live with it's issues, as pointed out by the other posters, go for it, if you will have difficulty living with it's warts walk away.

Forrest did not ask about the gun being a good buy or what we thought about the price. He asked about the originality of it.
So why are some getting grumpy about people answering his question?

Didn't load the picture, too big for the insert.
