WOW!
|
That is amazing! Thank you!

Very nice!

They are stunning. Bruce, why are the water tables marked '7' and 'A', instead of 'AA' ? Also, I couldn't see any Whitworth serial numbers on the barrel flats. Are they beneath the fore ends, and four consecutive numbers? It's odd that they aren't in the 'book'.

The markings are correct for early hammer less As I said, the configuration is correct. Sometimes the earlier the gun, the more it departs from standards
The general rule for Whitworth barrels is that they are marked with both the wheat sheave and tube serial number. Not all are so marked however. There are many fine and correct Parkers that are not in the known records. There are also some made up guns. This pair presents an exercise in know your Parkers. |
WOW !!!

I wasn't questioning your word, Bruce. I was questioning my understanding that a Grade 7 was an A Grade, as those appear to be marked.

I wasn't at Parker Bros but am relaying information I have learned from TPS and from listening to true experts in the field. I have learned a little but have far to go. By the way there is some sort of face in the upper left corner. I don't know anything about that and don't know how that got there. Forum glitch?? |
