Parker and the Crash of 1929
Examine the Parker production record in "Serialization.. Parker Bros, like many others, were optomistic after the Crash and continued production at near the pre crash rate through part of 1930. Many 1929 guns were returned, and the 1930 guns were unsold; this lead to Parker Bros being placed on watch by creditors. Only 800 more guns were made prior to DuPont's purchase of Parker Bros in 1934
