Parker Bros. Barrels??
For those who have studied barrels attributed to having been made by Parker Bros. please take a look at Gunbroker lot No. 194624408 and give us your opinions. The "PB" in the shield on the underside of the left barrel can't mean anything but "Parker Bros." unless I am mistaken. If I recall correctly the serial number is in about the correct range?

Dean, I think the serial range is a little early.Parker re barreled the gun? I hope Austin will weigh in here.
I couldn't help but notice that the gun had John Dunkle's inspectors marks...:rolleyes: |
There was another thread, 'Parker Made Barrels', that highlighted the 'diamond P' and a 'plain P' (on the right barrel flat) and brought in some comments by Brad Bachelder and Drew Hause. I was hoping that Austin would jump in with some more insight.

And I wonder what that insignia stamp is to the right of the J.D. (or J.L.) Ser. No. 5045
I'd sure like to get a high resolution picture of it. |
I would think another unknown inspectors mark.
|
Looks like some original blue on trigger guard. Maybe it would be worthwhile for someone to make an offer on this gun. Checkering is probably added, but that is a minor thing considering the condition.
|
Dean, could it be a partial '4'?
|
I thought about it being a 4 too but I just don't think so - rather, I don't want it to be a 4 but some sort of "crossed" somethings... Like I said, I wish we could get a high-definition photo.
