Bruce, the only barrels Parker Brothers made in house were Laminated Steel (and only in 1877, 78, and 79 according to King’s testimony) and were usually stamped with a P on the forward area of the right barrel flat and sometimes even a bit beyond the flat just onto the tube itself. The P die had a chipped foot and the left side of the foot on some of those I have examined has been missing while on others the foot of the P is missing entirely.
