Well I now feel comfortable updating about this Parker. This has been a good learning experience. I do have the gun and it is in the vault. But along the way I learned that there are alot of people out there who would go to great lengths to have swiped this gun out from underneath me. Several (3-4 according to the owner of the shop) of our esteemed brethren here at the BBS went back through old posts and found where I had mentioned this gunshop and it's location in the past regarding other guns and tried to entice the shop to break thier deal with me for some added money. Continued calling the shop and leaving multiple messages on Sunday & Monday (the days they are closed)I am thankful that they are very good people at this shop. My $2000 deposit was enough to hold it until the next business day. Anyway, No Harm Done! I did learn that it is worth at least $3500 to someone (that was the highest phone offer). Just filed the whole experience away as part of the learning curve.
I also learned that good deals still do exist... even for smucks like me.
