Stu: If you click on any member's name in the forums, e.g. RON SCORES, there is a drop down menu. Click on Public Profile. IF the member has one or more albums, that will show on the right side of the Public Profile page. Click on the album and enjoy the pictures.
Cheers, Jack BTW: Check FAQ 21 for info regarding frame size, how to measure if unsure and what gauge barrels were fitted to what frame size.

Gary,The frame dimensions of a 1/2 frame gun mimick a 1 frame gun. This is interesting because of the fact that the 1/2 frame Remington barrels were fitted to this gun.

What an interesting Parker.
By the serial number range as well as the pictures you have posted on your album, especially the picture of the water tables, your Parker left Meriden as a Grade 2, or G Grade, and has since been rebarreled at Remington as well as having an engraving and checkering "upgrade" to something like an 'A-Grade' level. Obviously done long ago. |

Ron: You might want to order the research letter to see what the surviving factory records indicate. As Dean pointed out, the gun started life as a Grade 2 (G) and along the way had a major face-lift.
If you have the right tools and skills, you could remove the trigger guard screw, lift the tang and rotate counter-clockwise approx 1/8 turn and see if a serial number is under there and if it matches or not. I suspect not, but never say never. The price of the letter may be worth satisfying "some" of your curiosity. There will likely still be more questions. Cheers, Jack This image courtesy of another thread on revealing the serial number under the tang.

The action frame is marked for a G grade. The engraving is not characteristic of a G.
The stock is styled to look like a B grade. The barrels are take off s from a late 1/2 frame V grade. Certainly an interesting gun, and as you can see, it is assembled from components of different grades and ages.
