I am a bit curious about that, George. Th AH Fox guns have the rotary top bolt, like the L.C.Smith and the Ithaca NID-- But the Parkers, with the exception of the later production Trojan grades, all have the "Doll's Head" feature-- So, once you crack open a Fox that has been "re-done" into an "Old Reliable" configuration, how would you explain that?? Just wondering, is all.

Many years ago, I heard some sound advise about collecting Parkers-- "If you stick with the Trojan Grade Parkers, you'll never get "stuck" with an upgrade.

For years, I often wondered about some of the Parkers sold by the late Herschell Chaddick-ditto Jack Puglisi-- but they are both "gone from the market", at least Chaddick is-- can't prove this, just a suspicion. But, all foxes tend to be a bit suspicious by nature, right? RWTF
