We believe it stand's for "King". Mr. King was Parker Bros.barrel inspector and future superintendant.

Robert,

Welcome to the forum. We would love to hear the story behind you Parker. Is it a family gun or one you purchased? We enjoy seeing pictures of Parkers and would like to see pictures of your Parker.

Kindest, Harry
