Teach me to come on here without my glasses. No wonder there's no SN.

Numrich sells LCSmith hammer screws. Has anyone ever tried one of those in a Parker in a pinch?? Mikes 16ga looks very nice. I see that the cross screw that holds the lock plates in isn't flush with the plate on the right side. I'd be looking to see why that is that way. Might not be original?? Looks like there's a loose internal screw on the left lock plate also. If those stay loose too long they can get buggered up. I've removed lock plates that had every internal screw loose so I keep close track of mine.

That's a nice 16 ga Mike. I have 46149 with 30 inch bbls. Good luck with that hammer.

Thomas,
Yes, that's awful close. Mine has a double scroll line around the side, but I am still interested. Assuming you're interested in selling this one, would you want to send me a PM on price? What is the background on this hammer? Thanks.
Mike

Angel,
Thanks! That's getting pretty close in SN's. Neat to know. A 16 ga also?
Mike

Thanks Richard,
Good idea, altho I have a nonPrkr screw on the right already. Just trying to come up w/authentic stuff now. Appreciate your comments on the screws. I removed the plates and detailed them since in posted the photos and the internals seemed tight, but I'll reck. Will also study the external cross screw you mentioned. I may have to check w/you to see exactly what you noticed wrong if it isn't obvious to me. Appreciate the help.
Mike

As I recall, that serial number is pretty close to Annie Oakley's 16 ga. Grade-2 hammer gun.
