Larry,
Congratulations, that is a really great old Parker. When you click on the third pic a couple of times you can really see the wear on the checkering in the wrist area. It makes you wonder just how much shooting and handling it would take to wear walnut checkering almost flat? I've picked up too guns recently with similar checkering and think it adds so much character to the gun.

My grandfather almost ordered a Parker like that but he told me he wanted to be able to look back on his life and have no egrets.

Very nice gun, Larry. Thanks for sharing the photos. Please post more pictures, esp. of the left side, and bottom of the action and the fore end. They are a real treat.

I wonder how long Greg has been waiting to use that line? Great work, Greg.

Another member owns a great C Grade World's Fair gun from the same era with egrets. Post your serial number and we'll compare it to the World's Fair gun list.

Fabulous A!!

An un-messed-with A of that vintage is the "Holy Grail" to many of us, and you've found one.

Larry, you need to order a letter on your beautiful gun. I am sure it has some neat history.
