Creating a Parker under lifter hammer

[Cameron Thraen]

A Parker top action (not under lifter) in need of a replacement right hammer. Parker hammers are difficult to find, so make one. Hammer work by Lou Rotelli.

Very impressive.

That style of hammer and the gun pictured is a top action. Not a lifter.

That is a lot of work there.

[Cameron Thraen]

Clearly top action Parker. Thanks.

Polished, engraved, colored, hammer finished. Nice work by Lou.

Well done!!!

[Louis Rotelli]

Thanks Keavin. I make all parts for any double gun. The hammer takes a good eye and about 3,000 file strokes!
