Default E.C. Meacham Arms Co. Parker Premier

E.C. Meacham Arms Co. 1883 Top Action Hammer Gun list $400. Note the Scott Premier hammer gun is $300.



Feb. 26, 1883 original order from E.C. Meacham Arms Co., St. Louis requesting "Premier Quality"



"Finest Quality" indeed



Possibly the earliest Parker barrels with 6 Iron "Turkish"



The L.C. Smith "Bar Action" Hammer Gun with the "Double Cross-Locking Rotary Bolt" was introduced in 1883; the Quality AA list was $300.
