Default Hammer Time!

Parker # 5392, the first known exposed hinge pin Parker, is eternally grateful for the sacrifice Parker #58662 has just made in order to restore her dignity!

It is now time t begin the resto process!!!!

That serial number and description should be sent to Josh for inclusion in Parkers Found.

Just guessing but if the second set of pictures are the replacement hammers, it looks like the first set of hammers were of a later design with the much compressed curve and it looks like the hammers would not strike the firing pins correctly.

looks like the replaced hammers were from a much lower grade gun. The replacements are much more appropriate.
Chuck, I don't think there is an axle-to-firing pin difference.
