It looks like a fine gun. The misaligned screws in the floorplate are probably a result of them being reinstalled in the wrong holes after disassembly. Try filing a perfect fitting screwdriver and switching them from side to side. They will probably line up perfectly. The alternative is to leave them as is until you can get your gun to a real gunsmith. Your gun has at least two special order features and deserves a PGCA letter to inform you of any information on the original purchaser.

I was told by a retired police detective never to post complete serial number.
If gun is not registered, someone can report gun as stolen using your serial number.

Just checked photos of other Parkers on your website and surprised that all floor-plate screws do line up vertically. Will try switching as suggested (only if not too tight). Thanks.

Yes, butt plate has dog's head. Screws line up 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock
I'll try switching those also.

Trying to get an idea of gun's value for posting on Gunbroker.
Blue Book of Gun Values doesn't give table of prices for Damascus barreled guns.
I know it is difficult to price without seeing the gun, but would appreciate an approximate range.

Ben,

If you find someone with the correct screwdriver bits, for that year the floor plate screws will be two short ones and a long one. One of the short screws will have a slot across the threaded end. This is for the left side, under the left barrel. The long one goes in the back at the trigger guard. That is if nothing has been replaced.

Thanks again for all the help.
Didn't see any chalk or wax markings under buttplate when I reversed the screws.
