serial number seems a little low for a top lever -

any proof marks on the watertable ?

Yes. Need photos to figure out what you are talking about. Badly.

Do you really mean “hammerless”?? That would be waaay before a hammerless serial number. And I am unaware of any sidelock Parker hammerless guns.

There was one prototype. It is profiled in TPS. I wonder where that gun is today. But that was built in the late 1880s.

I can easily make a hammerless Parker. Take a hammer gun and remove the hammers.

Yup Brian, there used to be a fella one a gun forum I used to frequent that would always correct if you described a gun as hammerless, to this nform that the gun was not hmmerless, it had internal hammers! What you propose would truly be hammerless, but useful only as a paperweight!!

If the pics show up as a true “internal hammer”
Parker Bothers sidelock action, there is going to be a mad scramble bidding war!

I remember seeing one that was converted at the Las Vegas show. I think I have it right that it was a hammer gun converted to hammerless.

There are a few of those out there too. Lefever did some. Converted to sidecocking as well.
