Sorry but no dice on the originality thing. Look closely at the wood near the action. See the chips and voids that have finish in them? On the sides and on the bottom. If that is Parker inleting around the Deeley latch then the boys must have had a six beer lunch that day. The fore end has clearly been repaired, crack is easy to see on the right side. Not sure what the line running parallel to the action on the right side of the head of the stock is.

Firearms imports, consignments
