At about the onset of WW 1 the supply of barrels from Belgium, and quite possibly most anywhere in Europe including England, for all intents and purposes, pretty well ceased altogether. It was then that Parker Bros. had a need to source barrels in the U.S.A.

That makes historical sense. Sourcing barrels in the USA. Did Parker ever make their own for a gun that was from start to finish built by Parker Bros in Meriden?
