I like the color of the barrels as well. Enjoy it and give us a range report.

It is #25357 , I plan on ordering a letter at the end of the week . I didnt notice the lack of a dolls head until after I had it beside my 6 frame .

So from what I have read Parker didnt make many without the dolls head extension .
What I just realized is before I got this one serial #25357 I was looking at serial #25425 on GI and its appears to be almost identical except for the condition and patina .

I just sent off for a research letter , one thing I didnt notice until filling out the form . My grade 2 has a steel butt plate like a lifter model but I was looking at a grade 2 only 68 #s higher and it has a dogs head butt plate . I suppose this is because its a transition gun which is why . This was my first time ordering a research letter as well it was pretty easy .
