Dennis, I am not sure how to add photo's here yet, but the serial number is 78481 this is stamped on receiver, forearm, barrel, gun has skeleton buttplate, all the fitting wood to metal looks good, barrels look brand new, only color case to speak of is on forearm metal, engraving is good, gun appears to be professionally restored. But not sure why they would put a gloss coat on the wood as I have not seen this on other parkers. There is a 3 stamped above the serial number on receiver and a D below it. Barrel lug has a 1 stamped on bottom, right side of bottom has a D with possibly a large 4 stamped above it closest to barrel, and a stamp in a circle that is possibly a 0, then in the middle a 3 with a 15 stamped upper right of the 3, then there is a patent date I can not make out, with a 3 stamped below it, left side has an A stamped close to barrel.
The barrel is my real concern it looks brand new and has that crimp in it, and although the gloss finish is pretty now I know it is not original and wonder how much this will affect value now and in the future.
If someone could coach me on posting photo's I'll post em.
Thank You again for your help.
