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.

I am not saying that Bannister’s mark means the gun was restocked. It means that he stocked it at the factory. He was the head stock maker in that time period. If anything, his mark verifies that the stock is original.

I agree it is original. I just had difficulty believing that because it was too close to perfect. I have not seen a gun that is 114 years old with wood that looks like what must have been the factory fresh look.
Do all stocks bear the stockists initials? I did not see the P.B. but the camera did. Nice to know that info as well. Will be looking at your article later today. Cheers, Jack
