Factory Sling Swivels
 

Gentlemen , does anyone have any good pictures of Our Parker Guns with " Factory Installed Sling Swivels "verified by a PGCA letter ? If so could you post some pictures to this thread ? Thank You ; Russ

Russ I have a DHE 20 with factory swivels. I'll dig it out and post up some photos. Are you primarily interested in the studs on the barrels and butt stock?

Hi Rich ,Well I happen to have a PH Grade with Sling Swivels and have wondered if in fact they are original ,I have done a search and come up with no pics. ! This is what I have ,do you think they are correct ?

The barrel stud looks correct. I'll dig mine out tomorrow and post some pics. My gun letters with the swivels. IIRC the cost was $3.

Thanks Rich , if it's not too much trouble I would appreciate it ! What do you think of the stud in the stock ?

Thats the one I'm not sure of. We'll see how it compares to mine.

Russ,
These may be the same ones Rich is looking for but they do letter as factory. The screw is not all the way into the body on the barrel mount as I just started it in for the picture. I agree with Rich, yours look like factory to me as well.

Hello Larry ,Thank You for the pictures ,yes I agree they look exactly like mine but your picture is much better ! I took mine in my Gun Room ,I should have taken it outside ! Well ,I see another letter in my near future !

I don't have any Parker paper and I wonder if these were a listed option or something a person would request as a special addition. I looked in TPS and didn't find any reference. Anyone have any Parker listings that show these as "normal" options?

Robin,
According to the letter they were a $3.50 option in 1911.
