I have just come to the realization that my grandfather could not have purchased his Parker in 1895 as he would have been only 5 years old. So I now believe it was probably purchased more likely after 1925 which is when he moved his family from Alabama to Florida. What I don't know is whether or not the gun was new when he purchased it. As soon as I get it from my son I'll know the serial number and I can find out more about it.
