Who said anything about it being a "virgin", other than you, Ted?

JR I'll give Steve this, though, that sucker is RIGHT, Jack... JR Looks one & the same from where I stand. I always thought the word "virgin" meant unused, in this case that would mean unfired. Nobody is claiming the gun is new and unfired, so I think it a stretch to argue what I called "right" as being new, unfired, but then it seems attaching hyperbole to make a point is necessary when you're losing an argument. Let's get something cleared up here: when I said that gun is "right", I simply meant it looks to be a very high condition and authentic representative piece in a very desirable configuration. It was Ted's desire to rush in and point out the error of my ways, so here we are. Whatever. But if anyone cares, here's what the Parker guys have to say on this subject: http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=25125I'm done with this. JR

[/quote] I'm done with this. JR [/quote] That might be a smart thing. I've noticed on collector based web sites that hyperbole is most always capitalized, and a collecting expert is different than a gunsmith. The Parker website guys tend to worship at the altar of Del Greco, and while that name and work can buy some good things, that isn't promised:  What do they say about this gun? "Nice example"? "Run like hell"? "High condition"? I know what Dewey or Kirk would say. 'Gimme James Flynn, Kirk Merrington, Paul Hodges, Dewey Vicknair, etc,etc,etc, to evaluate a gun purchase in cold blood. The "enthusiasts" at some collectors web site, maybe not so much. Any argument here was lost when the photo of the first gun went up with a claim it was somehow "right". May have been, but, isn't now. Best, Ted
