Got two 59's, hammerless and straight levers.

Michael, is that 59,000 serial no. range?





.

59000 should have straight levers if my theory is correct

71910 CH 12 gauge has fishtail
73318 PH 16 gauge does not have a fishtail

Thanks Wayne.

For purposes of this thread, I am interested in hammerless Parkers.

Happy New Year!

Dean, 59,4xx straight and 59,8xx straight.

Mills, I picked up a 30" 12g GH fishtail top lever #71591.

Hammerless 12, #69,310, fishtail lever. Hammerless 20, 71,179, fishtail lever.

Thanks Bill and thanks to all with substantive responses

69,780 has a fishtail lever and is hammerless.

-Victor

66,842, P grade, 12 Ga - fishtail
71,xxx, P grade, 12 ga - straight

Keavin, Is 71,xxx a hammer or hammerless? Thanks

Hammerless Mills

had to read back a post :rotf:

thought you were giving him a new nickname

Thanks Kevin!

Funny Rick

Woody Denton has serial #66559 with a fishtail lever

I took #71591 out for a spin today. I picked it up locally last summer. Shot it today for the first time. Let's say I am very pleased. Triggers are great. Gun locks up solid and it does reach out and turn those clays into diesel smoke beyond 40 yards with 1 oz Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics shells!!

Keavin Nelson, do you have a letter on your PH with straight lever from 71,000 sn range and does the letter say anything about the toplever?

Thanks

Any ideas on value for yours? Looking at buying a very similar parker. Not sure on reasonable price though

Mills i own 65685 hammerless fishtail, may be the lowest serial number with a FT or have you recorded a lower serial number?? Craig

I’m a southpaw, and I just find it easier to open the gun, cocked or not.

Yep, that is the lowest. Thanks

Thanks Milton

I have S/N 66577 in 12ga. with the fishtail lever. This falls within your survey range. Thanks for the article in this month's Parker Pages.

Thanks Kingston!

Hammerless GH 73,198 June 1892 Fishtail # 1 Frame
Hammerless GH 75,309 July 1895 Straight # 2 Frame

Thanks Scott! I hope the article helps expand our Parker knowledge.

Mills,
you may add # 72131, C grade 12 Ga. hammerless to your list, with Bernard barrels no less!

Fishtail lever AND Bernard barrels -- be still my heart!
