Nickel Plated Lifter

[B. Dudley]

By the little that I see, the Checkering on the forend is less than legit.

As you know, Parker nickle plated some triggers and firing pin bushings. The lifter button appears to be copper colored which would be consistant with plating of that era. The parts were first plated with copper to bond the nickle.
The engraving sharpness is normal for plated parts, the coating is quite thin.
The overall color and patina is consistant with plated handguns of that era.
Parker seemed to be very acomodating to customers wishes, it would not surprise me if the plating was original as a special order.

my C grade hammer gun has a nickel coated trigger guard that appears very similar.

I think Parker would do what the customer asked

John, if you send me the serial number of your C hammer gun, I'll check the records.
