One of the other images (blurry) reads "Parker" on the side plate. The barrel rib images could not be read.
Glad I asked here. I was going to make a drive to take a look. Won't be bothering now. Thank you! |

Bill, get a copy of the Parker story or at least the Serialization book to use as a reference point or if in a pinch, refer to this web site under the title of "the grades" and peruse the pictures. Good luck. I have a very nice and collectible hsmmergun here on this site. Pm me or call me at 1-917-763-1797 if you're interested. Jim

the cartoonish engraving makes me think Belgium
proof marks would tell but it is not always true to say Parker (non Parker Bros) guns are fakes. there was a Parker family in England that made guns for a couple generations- of good quality - honestly using their name - Thomas and Charles come to mind

I will try to get some new images of the cartouche marks to see if it's something to tinker with for little $. |

Bill
That is just a humorous comment on a recent thread about a period when Parker Brothers hammer gun wore birds looking over their shoulders

I think that's great! Sounds like a fun thread. Oh no, it's a Parker!
