Hammerless Lifter
I thought I came across a post discussing these but can't find it again with a few different searches. Does anyone have pictures they could post? Also, I was wondering if anyone has a estimated production count? If I remember correctly there were some made into the 1900s. Were they made on unique or special frames or modified top lever frames?
Having taken a couple Parkers apart and looking at diagrams, I'm developing the idea lifter guns had a simpler, more direct acting means of working the locking bolt. I've never handled a lifter but evidently shooters back then ultimately liked the top lever better. I'd welcome anyone's thoughts on that subject also.
