5 years from now it will have been re-barrelled, and re-engraved.

It was a boner move for the dealer to post the ad.
Now the serial numbers will be etched in every collectors Rolodex as the "Parker with the bulged tubes"

It's ironic that many Parker afficionado's regail us more pedestrian shooters with their tales of hammering waterfowl with modern cartridges.

Evidently mystique and allure doesn't trump old age and physics.

FWIW, I'd have no qualms about rebarrelling it.

Out there doing it best I can.
