John, You might be right about the hammer handle, but that would have been Parker Bros that would not replace it, Remington took over control of the Parker Gun Works on June 15, 1934. I have often wondered about this time period, at Parker Bros, they were only making a few hundred guns per year at the end, and surely with a reduced work force. I wonder if they might have taken a little more time and added a few more embellishments here and there, any one seen any evidence of this Gary
