i have contacted Dave and he is confident he has all the missing parts I need. Thanks for the information

There were scant few Parkers made with the top rib engraved "Manufactured For" and the owner's name.

I can renew it to your preferred configuration or restore to factory configuration, your choice, shooting it is for you to find out about barrels limitations. I'm sure it's possible just you have to know what loads are safe for it.

Still confused
 

Here are some pic's of the gun Attachment 51561

Attachment 51563 any feed back would be welcomed
Dave Fjelline is working to locate the missing parts (what a nice guy, I enjoy just talking to him he's got some great stories) and keeps me updated on any new info on the gun itself.

I have posted some pic's at the end of the therad

I have never seen a trigger guard like that..........before

no - looks rather Germanic

what do you want to do with it?

Looks like a very worthwhile project, especially with the family connection.
I Know that there are others here with a ton more expertise than me, but IMO, I would salvage the metal, and restock back to the traditional Parker style of the day. I wouldn't want to condemn the trigger guard as incorrect out of hand, but would examine it carefully for signs of modifications. There's likely to be some evidence of welding/modification in the hidden areas on the backside.

That stock is in the traditional style of the day. The only thing I would question is the strange trigger guard strap..... Get a Research Letter on that gun - it may just hav been ordered that way or returned for that modification.


A stock of mine which is also a gun of that particular era. Note the similarity in the nose of the comb.

Next is a wonderful example of what Parker Bros. would do to a trigger guard strap upon request.
