We have the A&F serial numbers on all Parkers sold by by them. Those serial numbers should give us a good idea when they started selling Parkers.

Incidentally, A&F first opened their doors in 1892 so any serial number of a gun produced before 1892, even if it shows up on guns they sold, certainly can’t be used as a starting point.

The list of A&F Parkers is divided into NEW and USED guns. The used gun list is useless in determining the serial number of the first gun sold at A&F. Let's post the A&F lists so we can continue this conversation with the lists in front of us.
