Do YOU know this gun.

I see "Parker" on the underside, so it is definitely later. Is Josh Lowensteiner here? You ought to submit it to Parkers Found as earliest 1/2 frame

My 1/2 frame is 240647 and was made late 1937 in Meriden, at least that's what the construction looks like. The second set of barrels was made in Ilion early 1938. I think the key is to look for the mullard border on the stock and forend, the rib inscription, and the V on the barrel flats. I've been told that approx 250 1/2 frame guns were made however I think that total might be a little low.

Forgive me for not being to quick on the draw, but didn't Chuck already say that his gun is about 200 lower than the gun being discussed here?

All the best Dave.

Thanks to you all for all your replys and help with my Parker gun but i think we may have gone as fare as we can on this.
It may well be i will never know the life of this gun as to its owners and adventures but thats another story.

David, do you have a PGCA letter? Some IBM cards have customer information.

If you see this post Mr Lowensteiner please would you submit it to
Parkers found as maybe the earliest 1/2 frame gun.
All the best Dave.
