Well they certainly spent time and effort on the photo shoot. What’s the saying about lipstick on a pig?

Most Parker fakeup guns with logos by cold chisel have been .410 Crescent or similar guns. If you're going the cold chisel route to make a Parker, it might as well be a .410. I have also seen .410 Crescents made into L.C. Smiths, more proper since the Smith is a sidelock like a Crescent.
