New Parker (to me) mfg 1924

[gary behrman]

Here are some more pictures. I think the chokes are about 1 1/4 long. I measure them at .633 to .637 with various devices but both seem to be the same. I believe Simmons marked the side of their ribs with their name. I do not see any markings on the Vent Rib and also cannot see any under the rib between the posts so the Parker Bros may be marked under the receiver end of the vent rib.

The pad as I mentioned has Pat applied for and Patent Pending so it is a pretty old White Line. There also is no sign of any cracks emanating from the receiver into the stock. Maybe the extra checkering was ordered that way. The barrel measures a little shorter with a yardstick.

None of this is really important except for my edification. I will never sell this gun, when I hold it I feel like Nash Buckingham or Chas Askins.

Thank you for all your information.
