My new Parker.

[Researcher]

Nice 0-frame 16-gauge PH!! Congratulations!!

By the serial number it is a 1906 vintage gun. I stare at this picture and can't make up my mind if that is a 1910-style Bolt-Plate which would mean the gun was returned to Parker Bros. at some point after 1910.

Thanks! What was the reason behind the design change?

Hi Dave,

Here as an enhanced shot of the plate and its pin. Hope this helps, Tom

Ahhhh, can't get photo to load down??? But, the pin and plate are visible.

I'm guessing that at some point the gun was restocked, as the nose of the comb is very much more like a Remington era stock.
