Letting folks know you have an album allows them to have a look. Here are a couple to spur on interest.
Cheers,
Jack

SAA-WHEEET!!!

where is the album?

Jack Cronkhite 09-30-2011 07:55 AM

Stu: If you click on any member's name in the forums, e.g. RON SCORES, there is a drop down menu. Click on Public Profile. IF the member has one or more albums, that will show on the right side of the Public Profile page. Click on the album and enjoy the pictures.
Cheers,
Jack

BTW: Check FAQ 21 for info regarding frame size, how to measure if unsure and what gauge barrels were fitted to what frame size.

Ron, I have never seen a 1/2 frame gun with a 84k serial number.

Dave Suponski 10-01-2011 08:08 PM

Gary,The frame dimensions of a 1/2 frame gun mimick a 1 frame gun. This is interesting because of the fact that the 1/2 frame Remington barrels were fitted to this gun.

What an interesting Parker.

By the serial number range as well as the pictures you have posted on your album, especially the picture of the water tables, your Parker left Meriden as a Grade 2, or G Grade, and has since been rebarreled at Remington as well as having an engraving and checkering "upgrade" to something like an 'A-Grade' level. Obviously done long ago.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE I MIGHT FIND MORE INFO ON THE PARKER I POSTED ABOUT? THANKS RON

1895 12 GAUGE PARKER..DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
 
HELLO I HAVE AN EARLY PARKER DOUBLE HIGHLY ENGRAVED LOOKS TO HAVE A REBARREL NUMBERS MATCHING BARREL MARKED PARKER GUN WORK. I SET AN ALBUM UP THE SERIAL NUMBER IS #84025 ANYTHING ANYONE CAN TELL ME ABOUT IT WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANKS RON

The action frame is marked for a G grade. The engraving is not characteristic of a G.
The stock is styled to look like a B grade.
The barrels are take off s from a late 1/2 frame V grade.

Certainly an interesting gun, and as you can see, it is assembled from components of different grades and ages.

THANKS I AM TRYING TO DETERMINE A VALUE FOR MY INSURANCE. WHY IS THE BARREL NOT MARKED ON THE RIB? THANKS AGAIN RON
