Well i'll have a go at it. And some will surley help with facts. From Parker Story. King's design of the Parker hammerless gun saftey had a provision for automatically moving the safety back to the safe position when the gun was open. This was accomplishedby a rod,0r pin, which was moved by the top lever crank when the gun was opened and which pushed the safty lever into the "on safe" position. Some shooters, however, do not like this automatic feature on a doublegun saftey and remove the pin in order to make the safety non-automatic. There are occasional notes in the Parker Brothers' order books that indicate a gun ordered with a non-automatic safety. So I guess maybe a letter would tell wether it was ordered that way or not. I would think the ones ordered that way just had the rod removed but i'm not sure of that. ch
