Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Another photo. A bit dark, but reads Plain Steel.

Kerilynn, Your 2 most recent photos show a decent 0 grade early Parker minus a hammer and hammer screw. Being a plain steel, gun it is my understanding it wouldn't have foreign sourced barrels . Hopefully others with "Plain Steel" barrels or other barrels of the same period can comment on the initials partially covered by the bottom rib. I don't remember my 2 somewhat earlier lifters having any similar initials but I don't have them handy at the moment. The Parker Story lists some early Parker employees and their job functions. If the initials can be identified, someone with the book handy might be able to match them to a barrel man at Parker B. or not.
You can check to see if a research letter is available for your gun by visiting the home page. One is probably available since the stock book for this serial range is available. Don't know how extensive the info in a letter might be until one is ordered.
