I recently acquired a very nice Parker BH, 81666, built in 1894 with 30 in. DD barrels, straight stock, and no safety. It was shipped to Kentucky in 1895 and then returned in 1898 for cleaning and general upkeep under a different name, according to it's Parker letter. At this time the Parker has an appropriate Parker pistol grip stock with the name Harvey L Clark engraved on the gold insert (which is different than the two above names), a safety, and appropriate Parker ejectors. The ejector plate has the right serial number but a 1901 patent stamp which is 7 years newer than the gun itself. There is no apparent record of when the stock was changed or the ejectors added. Does this make the gun a BHE or a BH with ejectors? Any thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated. Becoming a "Parker Owner" is opening up a whole new level of s x s ownership to me. Thanks, Tom
