What's wrong with this picture

[B. Dudley]

The first few years of all hammerless parkers had the old style 1pc hinge pin.

So, if the frame is in fact an early gun, there is in fact nothing "wrong" with it.

The frame is 1901 manufacture. I think that should be the two part pin. But have learned now that early hammerless were also a simple pin. Thanks.

One will also see a different length screw in the two piece units. If I remember the later ones were shorter. Perhaps it saved a penny or made it easier to disassemble after the years.

Brian: The frame did not have a roll and pin. I just played and took the pin and roll from one of the orphaned Trojan frames and then wondered if it could be inserted into the D frame. It did fit. So Parker Bros did not put a simple pin into this 1901 D.

When absolutely everything is removed from a frame, what can be done with it? If it were a beautiful D frame, I suppose a guy could round up the innards and a set of barrels and some wood and bring it back to life or ... ???
