PARKER HAMMER GUN SN 29983
I received the Parker Hammer Gun SN 29983 that I recently bought at Ken Farmer's Auction. "The Book" has it as a Grade 3 toplever (not fishtail) 12 bore w/ Damascus 28 inch barrels w/ extra 30 inch barrels. I am ordering a letter today.
I have a couple questions: The stock has a plain, what looks like gutta-percha, buttplate. The frame size is "1" The barrel flats are marked with a "3" over "17555" but the SN "29983" is on the side of the barrel lugs. The barrel flats are also marked with a "4 8" a "D 4" "Pat'd June 25, 1878" & "Pat'd April 11, 1876". I am confused about the other number and the buttplate. Can anyone here help?
Best Regards, George
