The most important issue for me is to make sure the barrels haven't been cut , If you have a serialization book ,it often times helps but if the serial# isn't in the book then you need to know what to look for ! Look at the rib matting and see if the matting " Squiggly Lines on the top rib "stops short of the end of the barrels just short or just past the front bead , with a distinct Horizontal line cut across the end of the top rib ,this is always a positive and what you want to see ,then check to see if the barrels actually touch each other at the end of the barrels ,after making positive proof the gun is unloaded ,also Parker guns have Barrel Keels installed at the end of the barrels ,tiny metal wedges ,if the triangular gap is totally filled with solder ,be very careful !
