Very nice condition Bruce. Somebody respected that gun.

when does it date from?
|
It looks like a late 1870’s Parker.

That is a nice one for sure. I like the twist pattern on the barrels as well.

Is there a particular name for that twist pattern?
|
I don’t know Rich. It’s composed of a ribbon of individual hammer forged strands which are not twisted upon each other as done in true Damascus. The ribbon is spiraled around a mandrel.
The strands are not nail stubs as in stub twist but look to be even and well formed. They are like London best twist so they seem to be of top quality. |
“Plain Twist” possibly?
