Quote from the auction house ad:

"The hard rubber grip cap and a lightly engraved brass oval insert. The bare butt is checkered and fitted with a skeletonized buttplate. "

When did Parker start putting on rubber grip caps and a brass oval insert on a AAH ?

Just wondering.............

That's just an example of "A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing."

"Hard rubber" (gutta percha) is correct but "brass" is not.

So, what's with the two different numbers on the barrel flats? 114 and 115?? And the serial number on the table has a 7 overstamped with an 8. That seems pretty odd for a gun of that grade.

Whitworth tubes are individually serialized. The listing makes mention of the restamping of the SN.

I think I will stay off the roads while Edger is driving around day dreaming.

Taking Edgar's comment about a recased AAHE, maybe the gun in question will look like Robin's gun in a few months. Stay tuned.

I bet it hits 7 figures. Go find another one.

I'm hoping you are including the two figures to the right of the decimal point....
