Default Parker DE

Hey guys my Parker finally came I paid 1300cnd it has a non original stock
It seems good to me but not sure what to expect for a 123 year old Parker!
The end of the barrel looks a bit bashed and chipped where I guess it has been put barrel down

Looks like a titanic barrel. It will say on the top rib. Nice find.

I'm following as I'm interested in a DH myself with barrels that look like yours. The one I'm looking at is marked laminate on the rib which I think is incorrect for DH grade. It appears your barrels are cut down as no front sight bead, also stock does not fit frame correctly. I'm new to Parkers myself.

I'm pretty sure Parker did not put site beads on the bottom rib.

I sent the gun back as my smith checked it and said the barrel had a large bulge repair and welded fix
What a shame!
