Thank you very much. However I only know what the bore and barrel info means. What do you mean by grade d3? I was really hoping someone could tell me the age.
Was this a rare gun? I'm trying to decide whether to keep at it or trash the project.

Thanks again
John

Your gun was built in 1883.
Click the PGCA HOME link in the upper left corner
find "Parker Grades" in left hand column
scroll down to grade 3/D, there you should find pictures that look like your gun.HTH

A #4 frame Grade 3 hammer gun is a very valuable collector Parker. Before you give up on it, you should show us more pictures of all parts. Several of our members here would be interested in restoring such a gun.
