Lol, I have read books on my family lineage, the most extensive traces the Hamners to Hanmer, Wales in the mid 1700's. The book being roughly 800 pages details many branches of my family, the hard part is to determin the connection. Granny Hamner is mentioned in this book and it is said that if you are listed, you are a distant relation of some sort.
Sorry to bore you with my family history, I realize this is not the platform for it.

as long as the family history has a Parker in it you're doing fine

Any relation to Rebecca Hamner, Director of EPA's Office of Water in the mid-to-late 2000's??

I'm sorry for the delay, I just recently found my camera. I have posted photos in the subforum, Parker restoration, titled Pappys 20.

I would expect that the lower the grade the more likely a gun was part of a company order- for stock, but even some D's and above show only the company name. I still find it interesting to know that a gun has survived over a hundred years in a small geographical area.

Rick, first, I'm sorry for the late response, and to clear up some confusion, this Parker started its history with my family in Covesville, then moved to S. Florida in the late 40's to early 50's.

George P. is very correct in stating that no order book information will be available in this serial number range. That means that no purchaser information will be available, only the basic specifications of the gun. As long as we're asking "Hamner" questions, my Commanding Officer in 1969 was Captain George Hamner whose combat unit patch was the 101st Airborne with Ranger stripe. I don't know what other units he had been affiliated with. He was a well repected company officer who sentenced me to purchase a $25.00 ($18.75 net) savings bond after returning from an eleven day questionable leave. I modeled my supervisory career after Captain Hamner for 29 years in the private and government sector. I just googled him for the first time since 1969. I am amazed that I pick my friends so well.

Yes, I thought there would be a limit to the order information regarding this grade. I was just hoping for a bit more provenance.
Captain George Hamner I do not know, but there seems to be a strong military history with the Hamners. My father, navy commander Robert c Hamner sr, grandfather colnoel George c Hamner, and the list goes on. I unfortunately was medically disqualified to serve. Makes me wonder if I would have surpassed my fathers rank by now.
I have noticed at least one other Hamner here, Jack Hamner. I wonder if there are more.
I am happy my name has helped lead you to fond memories.

I'm sorry, I didn't see this question.
I haven't heard of her either, but you never know.

My letter for a G grade has the purchaser name. Good luck.
