Anybody else have an A.G Parker no.4?

[Tinman204]

I bought this no4 mk1* around Christmas thinking it was just a mis matched longbranch in great shape. It was priced accordingly and all was well.
I noticed that it had a second front swivel so right away I figured it had seen a range or 2 in it's day. The second strange thing was it wasn't an FTR but the reciever was renumbered. The wood is mismatched but all longbranch.
When I brought it home I saw that the end of the barrel read "A.G.P Ball Burnished" and soon figured out what I accidentally bought.
It's in great shape and the bore is like new. It's had the ph5c sight removed at one point or another and a mk3 sight is on there now.
Here's a few pics, anybody else have one?

I had 1 on a no 4 mk2 shot fantastic. Have a look at the bedding, centre bedded in timber at the centre band top and bottom?

I'll have to take a closer look. I've only had it apart once and that was before I knew what I had. It shoots well, the first time i shot it I managed to put 5 rounds into about the size of a quarter @ 50 yards, which is the best shooting I've ever done. The only other gun I own that even comes close is my mkIII Ross. I'm excited to load up some cast rounds using the Harris load.

Isn't that the stamp that was sold on Ebay recently?

That stamp was sold on eBay recently? I hope it went to a good home.
