I am sure you are correct and Mr. Day alluded to that in a previous post as well. It was interesting to read a previous segment on the card that said in large bold capital letters: "HAMMERS SHOULD NEVER BE LET DOWN ON LOADED SHELLS IN ANY GUN." I don't see how you could do that with internal hammers except to fire it, so I figured the statements pertained to hammer guns.
The next segment on the card read: "The Parker Gun is a much safer gun to use than any gun in which the hammers may be let down on loaded shells and was designed with special reference to safety on this particular point." This must be Parker's assertion that their guns with internal hammers are much safer to use than external hammer guns. I guess the addition of the safety on hammerless guns is relevant here.
Since I have no real experience with Parker hammer guns, do I assume from this that Parker hammer guns do not have a half-cock safe position?
