I guess my question is what makes this dealer or any dealer or seller an expert on determining originality and then stating that in the description. We see this term "original" too many times when it's obvious the gun is not original. Just because it has colors and nice blueing doesn't make it original. It does however make it easier to sell to someone who doesn't know better. It's very hard to determine what is original even to those who study Parkers for a long time. We (myself included) sometimes don't know for sure but we can give an educated guess based on the experience of seeing many Parkers.

My rants over!
