Good point, Charlie. "Tips" were forends in Parker Brothers terminology.

I like that "nose piece", I'll have to try and remember to start using the phrase.
An old girlfriend from over in Detroit had a nose piece, but it didn't look anything like the ones on a Parker. If it did I might have stuck with her a little longer...... Destry P.S. Sorry, Morin's off topic postings apparently are beginning to rub off on even me.

Plain Tip on Grade Forend
Grade 4 wood and checkering with a Grade 0 Tip as found on 237949, manufacture date December 1935. Shape of the Grade 0 Tip and the higher tips were different, so they are not interchangeable. Accordingly, Wood was manufactured this way from the factory.

Bill, as striking as that one is - I know of at least three so similar to that one that you could only tell the difference if you had them all together to compare. The tip on the splinter of John Dunkle's Grandfather's AAHE is extremely close to that one as is the tip on Parker No. 168304, the Czar's Parker.
The forend tip on the 16 ga. Invincible is covered completely in fine scroll and in my opinion is not nearly as striking. |
