I am curious. For a gun that has never been in the field or used, why would the screws have been turned. Most notably on the tumblers. Why is there no case color remaining? Why has the checkering become smoothed and worn? Why is the barrel pattern silvered? Why is the head of the stock so dark, as to appear to be oil soaked? I couldn't find the other thread for the backstory, which may answer these basic questions any Parker enthusiast might ponder. The gun is in reasonable condition. Not museum condition.
