Plumbing the depths of TPS
I have a second copy of Volume I of The Parker Story that I keep handy in my studio next to my chair, so that when I take breaks, I have something informative to read.
Working my way through the hammerless gun section again, I noted the information on the introduction of the one piece barrel loop meant for the new beavertail forends. According to the TPS the new one piece loop was also used on AH grade guns and higher.
I went to check my 1927 AH, and, lo and behold, there was the one piece loop. I'd never really paid attention to the loop my gun before.
For anyone who does not have access to TPS, you should strongly consider finding a copy.
Thanks (again!) to the team of dedicated folks who worked so hard to put this wonderful resource together.
