I know the heritage of my Parker. The original owner was a well known industrialist in the early 20th Century living around San Francisco. It has a straight grip with a pretty good chunk missing from the wrist along the left side of the lower tang. I bought the gun from the fellow's son-in-law who was in his 80's. I think the S# is 123855...not sure, gun is in safe. The original owner, he was in the coffee biz...big time, was quite a hunter and he gave a bunch of guns to his son-in-law. They were all stolen except for this Parker and a little 08 Colt .380. I bought them both. Interestingly the owner had used the little Colt to kill an intruder who was trying to break into his house. So that gun has a history too.
