Let's try something fun. Like a lot of us, I am a fan of fishtail toplevers and really like them on hammerless Parkers.

Let's do a survey of fishtails on HAMMERLESS Parkers. They appeared on Parker hammerguns a lot longer, but there appears to be a period in the early 1890's where they appeared on hammerless guns.

I have sn 65759 which is a GH hammerless and does NOT have a fishtail

Sn 66,223 does have a fishtail toplever

I have several serial numbers up to 71811 which DOES have a fishtail. All hammerless Parkers I own within this range have fishtails.

Sn 74014 does NOT have a fishtail.


I would like to know if those of you who have hammerless fishtail Parkers have ones that are before 66223 or after 71811. I think I have seen some in the 72,000 range, but do not remember exactly

Further, does anyone have any regular toplevers that fall within this serial number range.

Privacy will be respected. Feel free to pm me. I am hoping to learn more and share the findings in a Parker Pages article soon.

Thanks!
