Mfg 1876. Early Parker "lifter" action, made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Revolution 1776-1876.

Were do they get that bit of information?

So I guess an early graded lifter with a "coin finish" isn't so bad after all.

It's a beautiful Parker, but they don't give the SN, so we can't see if it started life that way.

Best Regards, George

Guys, The ser # is 6966, I called for more info he will be back to me tomorrow I ask how he knew the gun was a commemorative he said the owner said it was. I ask for more documentation on that. The serialization book says it is an O grade with twist brls and straight stock but it has been known to be wrong before! Gary

Is it on any of lists of special guns in TPS? Bob Beach is a good friend of ours. I think our researcher can give us a peak at the order book entry. Looks like at least a B, maybe an A judging by the stepped lock plates.
