Leon, The cut barrels and more than likely honed with cylinder/cylinder chokes, the refinish on the forend, barrel reblue, wrong and or buggered screws everywhere, top lever left of center, and the bluing of the entire frame would lead anyone to believe that DHE 16 has been rode hard and put away wet. Good deals on bad guns........

Dean: you're quick and obviously know lots more about this gun than is said in this thread. Thanks again

With my years of observation and hands on examination it’s not difficult to see the flaws.

I think Leon was replying to Dean Hanson, but I know you know.

Yup. Source is trustworthy. Maybe nostalgia, as only B & W was available when the old girl was made some 100+ years ago.

The buttstock isn't original & it's an amateur attempt at stock work & checkering.

Advise you to steer clear of that one.

David, Dean: Thanks for helping me. I got my first Parker less than a year ago, so still learning. For sure I can now clearly see that the buttstock isn't authentic. Couple that with other anomalies, and I'v lost interest in it.
