I think the key is to look for the mullard border on the stock and forend, the rib inscription, and the V on the barrel flats. I've been told that approx 250 1/2 frame guns were made however I think that total might be a little low.
Forgive me for not being to quick on the draw, but didn't Chuck already say that his gun is about 200 lower than the gun being discussed here?

Your quicker on the draw than me your right. My mistake.
All the best Dave.

Thanks to you all for all your replys and help with my Parker gun but i think we may have gone as fare as we can on this.
It may well be i will never know the life of this gun as to its owners and adventures but thats another story.
