Sculpted Bolsters

[Dean Romig]

Some early Lifters had sculpted bolsters similar to the later $100 quality or D grade guns but they were generally lower quality guns.

This one, No. 10165, is a TO "grade" in the Serialization book ( which is more likely a keystroke error and should actually be T0 (zero being the actual quality).

If any others own such a Parker can you please show us some pictures of them and tell us the quality or grade of them?

The bead on the bottom of the barrels, following the contour of the frame and extending all the way up and on top of the frond iron is also very "different".

[Dean Romig]

I agree Brian. And that bead is part of the barrel flats not part of the frame as shown here.

I know, they always are.

Does anyone else have a low grade Lifter with sculpted bolsters they can share with us?

[Gary Cripps]

Not exactly what was requested. Would like to know the grade if someone could advise.

I'll have to take a look-see.

Here are of few photos of bolsters and side plates on two of my under-lifters. One is very plain, the other with more flair and panache.

Dollar grade equivalent to a grade 2

[Dean Romig]

I say grade 1. A grade 2 would have birds engraved on the lock plates.
