Daryl: I will make it point to take a look when I go there later this summer, thanks for the heads up.

I also wanted to give everyone an update. As I stated in my post the other I day I sent the gun and the check back to the collector who was concerned about the gun being refinished. Upon examining it he said he was 99.9% sure that the gun is 100% original and virtually new. He said it is so nice that it is almost unbelievable to the point he has invited another fellow to his home who works for one of the large gun auction companies to look at the gun to satisfy his one tenth of one percent doubt. I believe at the end of day the gun will have sold itself.

The man also mentioned that the engraving of the dogs on the side plates were exactly like the ones on his Parker 10 gauge hammer gun.
