I grew up using my one of my dad's Parkers, and he got his first in 1917, new from the company, which was about 2 miles from their home. Any other that he had, or that I was lucky to be able to afford, were that new or newer, and were either SS or capped pistol grip. I have a POW stocked Westley droplock and it doesn't "feel' right, hence my preference. Prior to the 16ga hammer I recently acquired, any other hammers were 10s or 12s, and didn't get the fire going. This 16 is what's gotten me as interested in hammers as I am, but you guys own all the good ones, so posting mine here seems insignificant in comparison.

Dean, the top two, full gun profiles, give a pretty good view of the grip profile, and it appears to me that the inside radius is more open. Perhaps it is more of a distinction to the American Gun collectors, but it's my opinion it would be characterized as POW were it an English gun.

Sure, why not. Against my fathers advise, I spent 40 years puting too much $ in English guns, when (As is apparant from Jim Julia's yield) I should have been buying Parkers. I spose if I didn't have siblings, with their own children, I might still have more of his guns.
This will be a good topic at the pub, when I'm over there next trip.

Wow, some great guns are coming out, turning into a participatory thread which is what the goal is.

Dave Purnell, we need you back. Thanks for showing.

Edgar, now doggone it, lets see some stuff, post some pictures.

Here's a B hammer lifter action with laminated barrels. Not mine. I have one hammer gun and would not have had that except for my buddy convincing me and he was right about how neat they are.
