The red beads were added by a previous owner. Any good gunsmith can replace them with ivory beads.

Were original Parker beads pressed in or threaded?

I tried to search in The Parker Story where I had read that some Parkers were ordered with the red beads but I couldn't find it... and I don't remember the time frame when they could be ordered on a gun. Maybe Chuck has run across such entries when researching the books... or maybe Mark Conrad remembers. I can't even remember the brand name of those red beads either but there is a reference in The Parker Story to the red beads.

Front bead looks like a Bradley, mid bead is a simple bead

There are real ivory beads that are dyed red. I have a set or two around.

I also have a very vague memory of red beads.
