Default Hammer Time!

Parker # 5392, the first known exposed hinge pin Parker, is eternally grateful for the sacrifice Parker #58662 has just made in order to restore her dignity!

It is now time t begin the resto process!!!!

That serial number and description should be sent to Josh for inclusion in Parkers Found.

Just guessing but if the second set of pictures are the replacement hammers, it looks like the first set of hammers were of a later design with the much compressed curve and it looks like the hammers would not strike the firing pins correctly.

My descriptions are confusing....

The first pic is with the “new to the gun” D grade replacement hammers. The angle looks wrong, but the hammer faces square up perfectly to the strikers as they approach contact. Tha second photo is the gun as I found it, with the plain replacement hammers, very seemingly attached to the gun with the original hammer screws. Who knows what the story there is?. I often wondered if an owner of the gun along the way put these plain hammers on the gun for hunting so he wouldnt risk losing one of the engraved ones. Regardless, this gun is now getting ready to be returned to its original glory!

I had the chance to put it through its intended purpose this past Spring in its “as found” condition. Those plain hammers maybe didnt look good, but they still made the gun go bang!
