Parker sidelock
 

Did Parker ever make a sidelock gun that appears to have been made by Meriden Arms or Crescent? Thanks much, Jerry

No. Those are totally different companies not connected with Parker Bros.

Just viewed one that says Parker Bros. right on the side, but it sure appears to be a Crescent or a Baker or a Meriden Arms possibly. Jerry

Jerry, Check out page 121 of "The Parker Story" This a prototype gun and the closest thing to a Parker sidelock gun. This gun was at the Vintager's in NY some years back and is owned by a private collector. A very interesting gun...

Nice condition anyway!

It's an A.J. Aubrey/ Meriden Fire Arms. Correct city anyway :rolleyes:

L@@KS like somebody's trying to make a quick buck trying to pass a Meriden Firearms gun off as a genuine Parker ... That's akin to horse theft here in the AriZOOna Cactus Patch ... A "Hngin Offense" !
