Some do , some don't. I ordered a new Parker hammer gun some years back , sent in the order form, and lately received word that the gun is about complete and will ship soon. So I have essentially a new hammer gun coming.
You see some of these guns and they have been rode pretty hard. Others , even well over 100 years old, are scarcely used. They are not correctly lumped all together. Even some that look worn are mostly carry wear with not all that many rounds through the barrels.
