Double stamping / misstamping ?

[CraigThompson]

Someone sent me this picture recently . I was curious about the double or miss stamping of the patent info .

[Dean Romig]

We’ve seen similar overstamps before on that area of the water table where patent dates normally are seen.

So no reason to think it a fake or a second or some such nonsense ?

[Dean Romig]

Not at all Craig. It’s not common but it happened with a somewhat fair level of frequency.

I have even seen double rolled makers marks on ribs. As well as serial numbering double stamps and corrections. It happens. The guns were a product made in quantity by humans.

[CraigThompson]

Would it detract , enhance or not make any change to the value ?

[Dean Romig]

It won’t affect the value of a Parker at all, regardless of grade or condition.
