Jeff the wood is actually original. It was so black that you could not make out any figure. This was the very first Parker I ever owned.the refinish of the wood was done locally.
The cost of tuition for “ The Introduction to Parkers 101” on this one was very high.Thats a whole other story I need to share sometime under a new posting.

Since this was your first Parker I am curious if you had any knowledge of the rarity of it with the Vulcan barrels or did you get a pleasant surprise along the way ? Either way it's a great gun and thanks for sharing it. Kinda supports the old saying, never say never. Very educational thread BTW !!

Phil, that’s a wonderful gun!

Vulcan Steel being so new Parker Bros. didn’t even have a Vulcan roll stamp for it yet so the top rib legend was engraved... fantastic!
A real piece of Parker history.
