Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Boy I sure went stupid there didn't I ? I corrected the text but the title, once set, cannot be edited.
You all are correct of course. For the uninitiated, CH refers to a hammerless gun ( internal hammer), whereas C means external hammer.
George, I think you have the count right. Should be seven known. This one is pretty neat, with the split rail fence. With the D grade guns and lower, the engraving has little variance, but with the C's and above, the first thing you do is see what is in the engraving. Makes them interesting. I would not be surprised if there were at least several more C's still extant and not generally known to the collecting community. Maybe some are good condition, others not so.

Bruce you are not stupid. The designation C vs. CH is stupid.
It would have made more sense if C was the "hammerless" and CH was C with hammers. But since the outside hammers came first, we are stuck. And of course the newer guns are NOT hammerless; the hammers are hidden.
Can you tell us the SN?
