Why is the trigger plate extending so far below the bottom line of the stock -- pictures 185 and 186?

The gun has been recolored with Cyanide process coloring. There is so much of the trigger plate tang showing that you can see the striping! The wood has at least been refinished and the checkering recut. Pattern is incorrect in a couple places. Especially around the upper tang. And the checkering is a little too course for the grade. I doubt the gun originally had a pad. Maybe. But it looks like this stock in particular had an SSBP given the look of the heel where the pad meets it. The BTFE may not be original either. The shape of it looks not so correct to me. I doubt that Parker would have done full cover checkering like that on a BTFE. There is no photo of the end of it or the inside of the forend to confirm if it is actually a BTFE iron or not. A lot of issues with this gun for the asking price...

Any explanation for .025 and.021 barrel wall thickness? Surely that's not original on a live bird gun is it?

This Parker was a consigned gun at Von Lengerke & Detmold near the end on 1924. You could have bought it for $400.00.

The presence of Remington repair codes would help to explain a few things about this gun to me.
Does anyone know if there are such Remington codes on the barrel flats?....Jay? .

Very pretty but its not right.
It's hard to fathom a AAHE being beat up enough to need re-case coloring. Why do that? That's just my feeling. |

Some seem to have no problem taking a 75% or better original gun and re casing it. They are only original once.
