Definitely an obstruction. An overload would bulge or rupture at the chamber/cone juncture most likely.

Default Metal detection shortfall

After a long Saturday metal detecting the only item's found were a rib section from between the barrel's and more poison ivy on my arms. I was looking for the trigger guard with serial number but did not find it; I would have accepted a skeleton or at least pile of buried guns...

I do feel confident that no other parts of this poor Parker remain in the dirt since I successfully cleared the entire area of every beer can, rusty screw, tobacco tin, bag tie, cloths pin spring, bottle top, fence post or hardware, and other unrecognizable item.

A fellow Parker owner lent me 2 books - Parker Guns by Ed Muderlak, and The Parker Story, Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, Cote'. One picture from the first book dates this piece as pre 1905 based on the old style linkage for the top lever opener mechanisms. Ill check back in with any more findings when I finish these 2 books in 1.5 to 2 years from now.... Cheers!

Well, you cannot say that you didn't try. You get an A for effort. What a story.
