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.

Your plain steel buttplate is commonly seen on Parker guns of that era. It is probably original. Early lowest grade Parkers often came with uncheckered wood, confirmed in early catalog references. See The Parker Story.

Ron: click on 'Members List' and send a PM to Bruce Day. 5 minutes with him will likely answer most of your questions.
And for those uninterested in 'fly over' country and where the War Between the States actually began  Pro-slavery Missourians and 'Free Staters' (later called Jayhawks) from the Kansas-Nebraska Territory started killing each other in 1856.
