Correct me if I am wrong, but the case colors look like a torch job.

No, Bill. Just a recent cyanide color re case job, which can be toned down if not to a person's liking.

I don't know, this gun has been offered for sale the owner claims that he has never had any work done on it. I would go look at it in person but it is a 4-5 hour drive. Tell me what you guys think of it.

In the second-to-last picture, what's the little circle on the rib, approx. 1/2" in from of the doll's head ?
I thought it was just an abberation, but I've seen it on one other Parker. So, this makes a grand total of two examples of this circular mark - but what in the heck is it ???? |

John, that's the pin which secures the rib extension. They all have it, some more visible than others. They are often more visible after the barrels have been re blued, although I am not saying one way or the other about these barrels. The whole rib extension is a separate piece, butting against the main rib at one end and terminating in the dolls head at the other.
I moved a friend of mine into a gun like this. He was not a Parker collector but only wanted a nice shooting gun that would last for him and at a reasonable price. He has been very pleased. |

Thanks Bruce !
(I learn something every day !) I'll have to check my ca. 1886 hammer gun & my ca. 1894 EH - I do not recall ever seeing this pin... Thanks again ! John |

Use a magnifying lens.
I would suggest that a person always inspect a gun in person, open and close it, look it over carefully. |
