Hmmmm.... may we ask what grade??

If there is documentation that it was sent back to Parker Bros. later to be resold with 26" barrels it is my opinion that a different set of barrels was likely fitted. Or the original barrels may have been cut by Parker Bros. and if a letter supports this then it is considered to be a "factory modification" and does nothing to negatively affect the value.

She's an O grade with pistol grip and plain twist bbls. The screws are not perfect but she's a beauty. Nice brown patina on bbls. You can't even see the twist pattern, ser. # 18720.

Here's the research letter. Now I can't wait to get my hands on her. She seems to be one rare Parker.
I imagine she sat for two years at Kennedy Bros. Would Parker Bros take a used gun for credti?
