Parker Bros. Laminated Barrels

[Dean Romig]

This is a recently aquired Parker Underlifter with what are believed to be Laminated Steel barrels manufactured by Parker Bros.
There is no proof of this hypothesis, however it is plain to see that the barrel tubes are each comprised of three seperate sections 'hammer welded' together. The patterns are not as nice as those shown by Bruce Day in a recent thread but appear more interesting in pattern than the English Laminated barrels used on later, lower grade Parkers.
The gun shown here is the $125 Grade (predecessor to the Grade 3) and the stock is wonderful in my opinion but is broken at the wrist and the checkering has been poorly recut. Notice also that the hammers are wrong and this is the gun I need hammers for.

These issues will be remedied in the coming months.
