Full length matted low profile ventilated top rib with twin ivory beads. Gold plated checkered SST, auto ejector, no safety.

Large trap forearm is near fully checkered in fleur-de-lis pattern with Deely release. Receiver is engraved in typical SA pattern with near full coverage scroll engraving and a large bust of flowers on floorplate. Weight: 7 lbs. 15 oz. CONDITION: Exceptional as restored and customized by Larry DelGrego. Bbl retains nearly all of its custom restored blued finish with some added engraving at breech. Buttstock and forearm are extremely well done replacements and retain nearly all of custom finish with only minute handling marks. Receiver retains virtually all of its restored cyanide case hardened finish. Mechanics are crisp. Bore is bright and shiny with minor orange peel. One of the first Parker collectors, Shelly Gittman, had a goal of having one of every model Parker produced. This gun, in absence of finding a better SA SBT, Gittman worked with DelGrego to customize this gun. It is an important part of early Parker collecting history. 51716-6 JSL (4,000-6,000)
