Engraver
My 5 (B) grade 10 gauge has the initials HG on the edge of the engraving on the left side plate. At least G is the best I can make of it. There is no question about the H. This gun was ordered in February 1881 and delivered in April. I was told by a very knowledgeable Parker collector the engraving was done by Harry G. The dates don't fit. Any idea who it could have been if not Harry. The book says he became the engraving supervisor in 1887. When did King over seas? Did Harry work there for some period of time before becoming the chief engraver? With a Parker there always seems to be questions that can't always be ansewered. Tom
