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.

Dean,
I also noticed this stock has a SSBP were as most of the very early guns I have seen had the full steel butt plate. Do we know when Parker first used the SSBP?

Great question Larry. Parker started using the DHBP on hammerguns about 1879. I am almost sure that Skeleton Butt Plates on high grade hammerguns predated that. Exactly when I have no idea. Good catagory for "Parkers Found"?
Edited: After consulting TPS the authors commented that the Skeleton Butt plate was offered on guns of Grade3 or higher since day one. They noted guns with 3 digit serial numbers have been seen with SSBP.
