Need help with my Parker Gun

Anyway, that's my opinion. .

Earth to Dean, who is "both" ? Not Rick, and I agreed with him that it was not a V grade, saying I thought it was a GH, after cleaning my glasses.
I tried the the control-click, but they wouldn't enlarge.

Boy... its pretty bad when a gun is so beat that the grade cannot be easily determined.

It is a GH grade (or grade 2). Check the water table of the frame, it should have a 2 stamped along with the serial number.

Why such a negative remark? I don't see the necessity to ridicule someone's Parker.

Why didn't you simply say?

Forgive me Robin (and the original poster). My intention was not to ridicule in any way. I was just surprised at the varying responses as to the grade of the gun.

Hi -
Yes...says Damascus Steel...I was just looking at the photo and it was cut off.
Thank you.

Helpful tip to Edgar & others.

To enlarge pictures: Hold down the control key with your cursor over the object you want to enlarge, then use the scroll wheel on your mouse to enlarge or shrink the pictures. When you want to go back to normal size hit the zero "0" key while still holding down the control key.

Works on most web sites including guns international & gun broker. Using this method it was very easy to see the gun is a GH/grade 2.

I agree Robin, thanks. I remember when I was young my dad told me if you don't have anything nice to say keep quite.

[OH Osthaus]

actually - for once the phone is handy- its easy to enlarge the pics that way

[Dean Romig]

I was typing that while you were changing your mind.

I also tried the control and use the scroll wheel and ruined the size settings on my PC... Still haven't fixed it even after clicking 'reset to default.'

I'll have to remember that one. Did you learn that from Kathy?
