I'm going on the history of the current owner. She states the gun was her late husband's father. The late husband was not a shooter and he was probably in his 70s. She said the father was a very small statured guy and had the stock cut down in the 40s. I guess if it had been altered, it would have been the same time as the cutdown. I'll post up some pics of the barrel flats and muzzle this evening. Again I want to thank you guys for your opinions. I talked to "Bud" Stanley in Spokane Wa. this evening, he seems to be the guy that knows Parkers. He was a wealth of info as well.
