Thinking out loud with a question; What is there to be said about the Parker single selective trigger ? I am all ears.

The "nose of the comb" does seem high but I have seen other lower grade Parkers with a very similar nose. The wood could very well be original.

Your speculation is not correct. I do not know the gun. I had nothing to do with it. The colors may be Turnbull, but I cannot say for sure.

Well, don't be offended Brian, it was meant as a compliment as it is quality work.

I am not.
I am just saying that I am pretty sure I did not do any work on the gun. But, I can check the serial number against my books. I have moved over 1600 guns through my books in the last 10 years, with half of those being guns I worked on in some form or another, so I cannot remember them all, even though I try.

Yours looks like the same trigger I have on a DHE. Mine has been trouble free. I don't prefer them but don't mind single triggers.

Thanks Jeff....

Visually, I see no reasons to not buy this gun. It's about as good a restoration as you could ever find. If the wood is not original, I suspect someone just wanted more "modern" dimensions, as in a lesser DAC/DAH that seems so popular these days.

Richard: I did play with gun at my FFL yesterday. It fits quite nicely and "the look" when mounted seems about perfect. It does seem a bit long in LOP but not by much and I can have a "tad" ground off the pad if need be. I shoot sporting and FITASC from an out of pocket stance so I may want to put an angle on the top of the pad and add some "slippery" surface dressing to that area. Will also likely round off the edges of the pad.

Bruce, now you're diggin' where the taters are!!

I have two Parker's with single triggers. The trigger was not what sold me on either gun. Both triggers so far have functioned flawlessly. They are a "Miller style" but not Miller. I have been told they could be an Ithaca trigger even though both guns letter as single but neither are one of the Parker designs.
