Do you have a checklist for Inspecting a gun during an inspection period?

Hi Bill,

The restoration was done before this owner and he did not know where it was done. The case coloring looks like it was cyanide so it is a little off the original. Everything else looks pretty good. I knew all of this info before the purchase so the price was calculated to match the representation of the gun.

I don't find any repair codes.

I am sending off for a letter to see if they have anything just in case.

It's a beautiful gun that do the job that it was intended for.

In response to the original question, here's a 2-page Gun Evaluation Check List that I've used:

It's still a Parker, Jeff, and a 16 to boot. Very nice. No need to apologize. Congratulations and enjoy. I bet it won't be your last.

That is a great transition era Remington Parker. With no Remington repair codes, the appearance of the gun points to Larry DelGrego and Son. I would buy this gun off a gun show table without a problem.

Great first purchase, significantly better than my first stab at a Parker. This is a gun you can keep and enjoy for many years. Very nice, almost all members here have at least on trojan in their permanent collection. Enjoy

The first item on my checklist is: Does it make my socks go up & down. After that, I know I'm in trouble.

this three day inspection business is nonsense. it was created by one of the early internet sales sites...back before we had the internet, men would do business via print media and the telephone. back then, a mans word was his bond. buyers were expected to know what they were buying and sellers were expected to know what they were selling. and, if a man would not at least guarantee that what he was selling was free of major flaws that would dramatically affect the value of an item, then no one would do business with him...now, many sellers on gunbroker and elsewhere expect people to buy guns based on minimal descriptions and minimal fuzzy pictures...with no return option! it is amazing to me that people actually buy from some of these guys...guess ole pt was right! the more things change the more they stay the same.

I long for the good ole days when we used to treat each other the way we ourselves expected to be treated...

Well Ed, don't slam everyone. Some of us still do business the "old" way

parkerman: glad to hear it.
