What Dean said - Remington-era Parkers, especially in the early years after the buyout, show some spectacular wood on lower grade guns, especially GH. They were simply using up existing inventories of better wood that would normally have not been used on the lower grades, instead of trying to "turn down" plainer wood in keeping with the grain and figure of the wood common to those lower grades. I owned 2 GHE Remington-era guns over the years each of which had wood that would have done a DH grade gun proud (one a borderline CH quality!). Makes eminent sense when you think about it.......

I must say I have never purchased a 1/2 frame.
I have a 1/2 frame that my dad gave me in almost unused condition. I wrote an article about it for PP. I think it was titled "The Missing Link" or something like that. Dean-o would know.
Craig came to visit and record that gun when he lived in Connecticut.
