Zutz alledges that the lower grade Parkers are prone to having soft parts in them. I suspect one could say an A1 Special would have a bit more quality control on it's otherwise identicle to a Vulcan parts.
No dog in this fight. The bolt leaves me cold.
Best,
Ted

I've no dog in the discussion either, Ted. It just seems crazy to pay so much for a rare Colt or Parker, as with a piece of carbon that DeBeers has conned the world into believing is worth a king's ransom. At least the lady wears a diamond.
I'd rather have a 16 gauge 0 frame. In fact, I was offered first pick gratis of a friend's fabulous Parker collection 40 years ago and chose the least expensive and most valued by me 0 frame which once sold for $40 after couple months' labour.
My mantra is to pick the gun that fits and feels right, leave the other stuff for the money men who are investors.

Look at it this way King - Rosie O'Donnel has the same parts inside of her as does Jennifer Aniston. It's on the outside that counts.

Jim Julia in reading your post about the Czar Parker....You have convinced me of one thing.
Even you are not convinced it's the "Real McCoy".

Remuddled Parker accompanied by Parker hang tags and legend. A Grail from a Mason jar? Good deal on accomodations while pondering the value of history. Now where did I put that old box Daddy said was the Arc of the Covenant?

Hmmm:
Gentlemen - I am not a Parker person . For me they are just another farmers gun with really good marketing during their productive life. I don't have a dog in this fight. Following this thread has been instructive and the comparison between O'Donnel and Anniston worthy of recollection.
Reading the discussion though, I have reached the conclusion that the gun very likely is what it purports to be, and Mr. Julia is indeed convinced that its the Real McCoy.
The gun has provenance and a paper trail unless someone would allege fraud running over 3 generations as well as fraud and deceit on the part of the Parker Company.Such a "Conspiracy", in this instance, fails Occam's Razor big time.
The source of the original order might have misinformed Parker of its planned final destination so there is no guarantee that the gun was intended for the Czar. But it is a nice gun, and all the evidence points to it being the one which left Parker so long ago. How much it is worth is a topic that ya'll can debate.
I would rather have the King of Iraq's 1933 NID.
Just my ideas. I am not likely to bid on the Parker, so my ideas dont really count, do they?
