Yes, there is a great deal of evidence that Parker Bros. recycled barrels as well as other parts.
Whitworth barrels would have had the Whitworth stamp, a bundled wheat sheave, stamped on the underside of each barrel in the area of the very forward edge of the barrel flats. Whitworth also stamped their consecutive serial numbers on the barrel flats, again at the forward section of the flats.... Is there any evidence remaining of these stamps?
