Austin,
Do you have the chamber and bore dimensions of these $135 and $250 Parker's and the s/n. Also have you encountered any of these early lifter guns with full length tapered bores? I think this was done in an effort to produce a tighter pattern, but it apparently was not a success as it appears to have been done only for a short period of time sround 1874 as far as I know now. More measurements on early hammer guns wold be most interesting.
Thanks,
Richard
