Very nice, Packard! Is it all original? Jim

[49packard]

Yes it is.

[Jim Cloninger]

WOW

[Brian Dudley]

This Parker is NOT all original. It has been fully refinished. And restocked. Delgrego. Newer work by the look of it. Or a recent freshening up of an older Delgrego restoration.

Also note that a lot of the engraving has been lightened from polishing and a good amount of it poorly re-cut.

Who or what is Delgrego? I would like the contact info. Brian

[Brian Dudley]

Lawrence Delgrego and Son. In Ilion, NY. A longtime (now in the 3rd generation) shop that works on Parker and Remington model 32 guns.

If you contact them asking if they worked on the gun, you likely will not get far. They keep their records by customer name. Not serial number. So unless you know who contracted them for the work, they wont be able to tell you anything.
