My First Parker. What Grade Is It?

[Bill Kekatos]

I am now officially a Parker owner. Yesterday I received my gun and I am impressed by the fit and finish of my first Parker. It appears to be all original. The barrels are in excellent shape, with the exception of a small dent on the left barrel about 8" from the breach. The barrels and stock are not cut. It has a skeleton butt plate with checkered wood and the drop of heel is about 2.75"-2.875". The water table is marked 3 and D. For some reason I could not remove the barrels and thus, I cannot say what frame it is yet. It appears to be in a nice original condition. I have already requested a letter and looking forward to discover some of its history and whereabouts.
