Parker Bros. guns from the 1930's
Yesterday as I was looking up the manufacturing date of my latest Parker, I noticed how few guns were produced in the 1930's. My gun was made in 1930 and several were made that year as 2182 guns were made, but from 1931 to 1934 only 773 guns were produced. The fewest produced was only 82 guns in 1933. Was this due to the Great Depression or a combination of other reasons. Would a Parker that was produced during those hard times be more desirable due to the lower production numbers? If you have a Parker made during those lean years, please post a picture of it.
