Thanks Bill yes I have spoke with Julia before with other items I had. I enjoyed the ride this forum is a wealth of knowledge. I learned alot and will stay tunned I hope I find other knowledgeable sites on the other guns and items I have. I do have some interesting pieces, not Parkers but english doubles and such. thanks to all...Ron

You might just see it as well as other interesting things at Julia. My 2 girls will have no interest in my collection I have no sons to pass them on to.

I invite you to join the PGCA. There are some good people here who know a lot more than me. I've been at this for a lot of years now and am still a beginner.

Ron, You can adopt me. I'm available. Cheers, Tom

The wear on the engraving at the side of the breech ball would indicate that the engraving may have been done way before the Remington-Parker era, maybe back in the time period of the trigger installation as Dave suggests.

so we can stick with robert runge?

no. There is no indication he did the work. That would be my novice opinion, but you should hear it from Bill Murphy.

No, in an earlier post, I have backed off that opinion and, because of the excess wear on the breech ball, I would think it was done long before Robert P. Runge engraved at Remington.

I don't believe Robert Runge touched a graver to that gun.
