PARKER BHE ENGRAVING PATTERNS

[Researcher]

Generally speaking the PARKER BROS. OVERLOAD PROVED stamp began appearing during 1926 in the 216xxx serial number range.

If your 1905 vintage gun has such a stamp it may well indicate it was rebarreled between 1926 and the Remington take over. Does your rib legend have MERIDEN, CONN. or MERIDEN, CT, U.S.A.?
