[quote=joe souther;37134]I sent photos to Classic Guns but I have not heard back yet. I would just like to know what it looked like before the restoration. The engraving is still sharp and the wood too metal fit is good.
Here are other photos:[/The first foto- showing the bottom of the receiver- if you look closely at the left barrel side you can see a slight gap in the trigger plate fit to the receiver, and that the machine screw slot has a slight "wiggle". Possible this happened in the restoration- just as heat follows cold in movement, heat input in ferrous metals will always flow from the thicker mass to the thinner edges- tricky bit of business here. Didn't the late Dr. Gaddy also do re-case hardening on Parkers in his lab??
Nice gun you have Joe
