Away at that price.

Bill, you nailed that! I have not had Cabela's come down much in price in the past but now I am now well armed with good information.
Thank you all!

Pistol grip is wood.

Other than gun shows what are the good places to look for an "honest" Parker.

[gbsharrett]

The grip is all wood. Is the water table the corresponding smooth surface in the receiver part of the gun?

Consider joining the PGCA for $40. You will have access to the for sale section of this forum which is restricted to members.

Look on the web at sites such as Guns International, Guns America etc. I stay away from places like Gun Broker. There are several good honest dealers such as Steve Barnett and Chuck Brunner to name two who I have had extensive dealings with.

Join the PGCA, some nice guns sell here but only PGCA members have access to that part of the web site.

I find auctions are a good source too.

What part of the country are you in? There are a couple of good auctions here in New England that get some nice guns. In fact, next weekend there are a couple Parker's on the auction block at Amoskeag Auction in Manchester New Hampshire (http://www.amoskeagauction.com/ ) .

I live in Olympia, Wa. A long way from New England and all those fine old doubles!

I understand that. They are few and far between out here in vegas as well not counting the antiques arms and armor show. I never even noticed the case colors until Mr. Romig mentioned it, but now it is obvious.

Being a wood pistol grip without a cap it is most likely a poorly fitted stock from another Trojan. A VH or higher would have a capped pistil grip.
Yes, the water table is the flat surface of the frame corresponding to the barrel flats.
