Hello Mr. Morris,
The "maker" of your gun is Parker Bothers of Meriden CT
the K f is the mark of Charles A. King indicating he has inspected the gun and that it is "finished"
Charles A. King was the Superintendent of the Parker Bros. Gun Works and he retired in 1910 when his son Walter took over his position.
Several employees and contractors worked on different aspects of your gun.
Welcome to the PGCA Website - there is a lot to learn about Parkers here.
