Thanks Jim. I need to spend a bit more time in the Parker story. I was looking for the exact info given on p. 111. The Serialization book does show the U action at 57645 with laminate barrels and the U action at 144937. Apparently there are 25 lifters that may exist between 1890 and the last one at 1907.
I am looking at one with only email pics. The SN is illegible on the trigger guard but, after asking, the seller reported SN to be 666XX. I ran through the book from 66600 to 66699 and found not one lifter.
The pictures are clearly of a 0 grade front action lifter with plain twist barrels, exposed hammers and ball pistol grip.
If it truly is 666XX then the book has an entry error. The gun would also place among the 25 after 1890 as 666XX for all 100 guns is 1891.
I have asked the seller to double check the number on both the frame and the trigger guard. Of course, the gun also has some issues, as many do at that vintage.
Even so, I may scratch the "itis" as it is getting itchy again.
Cheers,
Jack
