I’m pretty sure the other engraving was standard for a GH.

If you have to find suitable donor barrels, which would normally be worth $800 or close, the back end of a pre-1900 GH should sell for about $400 or less. Remember, even with a good set of barrels, the end result will be a mismatched gun.

Buy it and look for another set of barrels. That floor plate engraving is too good to pass up. I wonder if a PGCA letter would shed any light? Anyone ever seen that engraving on another Parker?

It took about 10 minutes to engrave that tree. Could have been an ‘end of the day’ gun.
But it would be nice if the letter addressed it. .

You have to remember that the guns were built by men. And my guess would be that someone inadvertently cut too large of a circle on it and then needed to fill the space with something other than more turnips.

I went back to the Pawn shop today and got a few more pictures. All the wood and checkering looks good and the side panels of the receiver are normal GH engraving. I did ask the owner of the shop to find out if the older gentleman (reportedly in his 90's) might have any more Parkers that he wanted to sell.
