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.

The change from the cap with the checkered oval to the Parker Bros. Meriden Conn. cap actually began to occur in about the mid-1890’s. I have and have had unaltered Parkers dating to 1897 with the cap with the logo. And there are late hammer guns (early to mid-teens) with the cap with the logo. It wasn’t an abrupt change.

Thanks Dean, I put the date of around 1905-1910 because I have observed the checkered cap on some guns up into that timeframe. Certainly up as far as 1905. So it is a chance to have one or the other in that timeframe. I would say that either cap could be correct for any gun made after 1895 and up to 1905-1910.
