Info on serial # 190094 from the serialization book erial #190094

[David Noble]

I guess I'm the one in every crowd that has a different opinion. I do not see what looks like a termination line on the rib. It appears to be more of a chamfer
as done to remove a sharp edge after cutting, to my eyes. And, I cannot see defined keels, it looks more like solid lead solder.
I may be wrong and I will retract my opinion if everybody agrees that the barrels appear uncut, but I'm not convinced yet.
I'd like Brian Dudley, Edgar Spencer or Drew Hause to chime in on this. I would trust any one of their opinions.

What a great gun.

[Christopher Graves]

I took another look at the end of the barrels and can't determine if it is solder or steel. A magnet will stick but it does have the color of solder too.

They do measure 26" on the nose.

A family member was looking after the gun while my parents and I lived overseas in the mid 1970s. Dad went to get the gun back when we got home and found out it had been given to a local Parker collector to settle a debt. Dad called the guy right away and told him in no uncertain terms that the gun was his and we were heading over to pick it up.

When we got there he told us he had the barrels reblued. Maybe he had them cut down or who knows. He bought and sold a lot of Parkers and was the local expert and not some hack.

Dad took the gun and gave it to me on the spot. Guess the guy was SOL on the debt.

I will pass the gun to my son one day but I would be interested in an approximate value range with the reblue and possibly cut down barrels.

Any and all info and opinions are greatly appreciatted.
