Just received today my latest Parker from last month's Julia Auction.....I have to say that the gun is quite a bit better than advertised, even though it was given a clean bill of health in the auction writeup. I'm happy to say that whoever appraised it did so on the low side (rather than the sometimes claims that they overstate condition).

Makes me feel a lot better that someone outbid me by almost nothing on the other gun I lost...
