07213.jpg Look how it is smooth behind the lock and it appears that the wood is complementing it???

But the wood on the one at Puglisi's seems to follow the contour of what appears to be stepped lock plates. It it's an optical illusion it's a very convincing one.

Great minds think alike Cal!

Is this gun listed on Puglisi's site? I looked them over a couldn't find it.

Dave, look on Puglisi's "Sales Rack" section of their site. It's the 1st one listed, 10-ga. undetermined grade. You'll swear it has stepped sideplates.

Here's a direct link:

Greg and Angel, Thanks for the help here. Ever since a member made the statement that Parker never made stepped lock plates I was questioning my sanity(that happens alot). I knew I had seen an early gun with stepped locks years ago.But I was beginning to question myself. You guys helped restore my sanity even if it's short lived....

So Parker did in fact make stepped locks on a few very early guns. "Never say never"

Take a look...

Though Parker Bros rarely commented in the order books or stock books regarding engraving and sculpting I sure would like to see the letter on this one.

How many of us remember the low, low grade stepped lock plate gun at Cabela's a while back? Someone at Cabela's recognized it for the rare gun that it was, pricing it a few dollars above my desire to bite the bullet.

Bill, did you ever get any research information on the Cabela's gun (or any Parker with stepped lock plates) that may have mentioned that feature?
