A hasty photo of a Vegas acquisition, letters as a $175 Grade

Wow. 12 or 10?

This a 30” 12,

unfortunately it does not have matching hammers, so I will be posting photos of each hammer in hopes that I can find a matching hammer.

I think I recognize that C grade with Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels as having been sold by Robin Lewis to Charlie Herzog…. Beautiful Parker in any case!

Congratulations!

Not many grade 4 lifters with laminated barrels. I did some research at one point I will post when I get a chance. Here is another that looks like a twin.

I’m getting a bad case of lifter envy (that is a thing, right?:))

Here is my info in case it is helpful. Serialization book shows 5 laminated Grade 4 lifters.

11413 12g 28"
13827 12g 28"
14313 12g 30"
14680 12G 30"
17421 16g 28"

If you own the 16 gauge, give me a call! :)

Dean R,

This one I picked up from a dealer in Texas, not sure where it was before.

Dean W,

That sure does look like a twin, Wow! This is 11102, are we close in terms of serial number? I will be looking to you to see how the hammers compare. I guess when I pull them, it will be pretty easy to tell which if any is original to the gun by the serial number.

Gary, Lifter Envy is easily remedied, just keep your eyes open:)

Stan,
Mine is 11413. Love the L4’s! Nice find.

So it appears my right hammer is from a D3, looks to have more engraving than the hammer original to this gun.
Finding a right hammer for a Grade 4 is probably pretty near impossible?? And then being the same engraving ?
Maybe someone here owns serial #13939, that would crazy?
