It's a beautiful Parker.

I'll venture an educated guess that Turnbull did the case colors and the darkly stained checkering and the perfect quality of the checkering looks like Brian Dudley's fine work.
The "nose of the comb" does seem high but I have seen other lower grade Parkers with a very similar nose. The wood could very well be original.

Your speculation is not correct. I do not know the gun. I had nothing to do with it. The colors may be Turnbull, but I cannot say for sure.
