The gun has definately been re-case colored and the wood (which I believe is a restock)refinished. Further, the sleeving joints on both barrels are visible; and the letters in the word "Titanic" don't have quite the same slant/angle as the balance of the rib inscription. Another odd thing is the "DH" stamp; I though Parker grade stamps containing the letter "H" were reserved for ejector guns? I've seen a couple of glaring recording errors in the Parker serialization records; so I won't speak to incorrect grade/guage issues, but it will take a lot more evidence than what is presented in those photos to convince me that this Parker gun is an original,
