It appears in that photo that the top lever has a more pronounced scallop on the right side than on the left. But that could be just because of the lighting, or camera angle.

The barrels also seem to be DHE grade like as seen by the different engraving of the dolls head and lack of engraving between it and the rib matting. Might be also related to the engraving style mentioned earlier though.

Unfortunately Frank you're comparing apples to oranges. This is a Parker Reproduction 0000-frame that you're comparing to an original Parker. Incidently, the 4/0 frame Repro does have lightening cuts.

Three identifying characteristics of these Repro DHE barrels are: 1. The breech band of engraving is D-style (differs from the Repro B-style). 2. D-style engraving on the doll's head (differs from the B-style). 3. No wedge of engraving on both sides of the barrel. (B-grade Repros have the wedge). For correctly identifying the bonus question the judges have awarded the prestigious advanced degree of Master of Repro-ology to Donald F. Mills. Congratulations Don! Note: I would personally like to thank everyone that played along with this little exercise and hope you had fun and maybe even learned a thing or two about the guns. Muchas gracias! KNOW THE REPROS!

Thanks Greg. It was fun to learn from the Doctor of repro-ology.

As usual, I didn't read the instructions . . . sorry about that.

Greg, or others in the know, is the pin spacing truly that of 0000 measurement, e.g. 12/16” ?
I think I’ve read that it’s not and that the 0000 designation was strictly a sales gimmick. .
