Parker Gun Works

[John Farrell, Charter Member #33]

Two reasons I can't post photos of the Parker Gun Works here.

First, the stamping is not deep and is done with find lines which is not readable except under really good light and with a keen eye.

Second, I tried a couple of photos with my micro closeup lens and just get a blurry image.

The subject stamping pattern compared to the Parker Bros. stamping on the barrel flats is identical but for the word change. And, the S in Works is not readable at all. Like the die was not level on the barrel flat on either side or the hammer was not struck level.

John I agree about the stamps.
On a number of Remington Parkers I have seen, the barrel flat stamping is kind of hap-hazard. The general workmanship on the gun is very good but the stampings are kind of lax. I dont know why.
