Wood is refinished. Checkering not re-cut when it likely should have been if the wood was finished. Buttplate (and likely guard) have been reblued. What is left of the case colors is hard to tell if they look correct or not.
I would be curious as to what others have to say about the engraving. Those are the most realistic looking dogs (as far as being dimentional) that i have ever seen on a Parker. And they do not quite look like factory work. And the "hazy lines" in the sky areas of the game scenes also do not look like any treatment normally done on Parkers. And some of the scroll looks chased out and not as dimensional as it should. I suspect a lot of engraving was re-cut on this gun at one time. ??? Thoughts?
