As requested. The Meriden Historical Society has a large selection of Guns on display from Hammerless Parkers to Hammer Parkers. Parker & Snow Muskets, Tripplet & Scott rifles and also a few other guns that were made in Meriden. 13 guns in all that were made in the Parker plant.
The highest Grade Parker was a DH grade. The Hammer Guns included one of the first Miller T-Latch guns, a very interesting buttplate safety gun, a transition gun that had top lever but no rib extension and a few others.

Very nice photography Brian. Thanks for posting them. I don't know if the Meriden Historical Society collection has ever been shown here.
