I think I know where the OP is going with this.

The frames of all parkers were marked with the grade. In your case V or in later examples VH. They will not be marked VHE (on ejector guns). The guns were not marked in any way in regards to having ejectors. They just had them or didnt have them.

Ok, thanks, it's stamped vh so I was confused. It definitely has them, first time I cracked it open one of the snap caps flew out and scared the crap out of me. I appreciate all the help. I don't know too much about these old side by sides. I have 2 lc smith's and an AH Fox, a Spanish Derby and I love all of them but this parker is my new favorite. I am hooked. Now I want another one, lol

So they are 28 inch barrels and family rumor has it the gun was refinished in 1958 by pachmayr. Then stored. Does that even sound right? I thought they made grips?

No, Pachmayr did not refinish that gun - sorry.

But this is just my opinion...

Don't look for Pachmayr paperwork for the metal refinish. Maybe they freshened up the wood.
