We know that the Charles Parker Company partnered with other area businesses and individuals in production of goods. Outside engravers were sometimes used in gun production, and quite likely specialized expertise of other companies was used in other manufacturing. However, there is much evidence of manufacturing domestic hardware at the Parker facility, so I doubt that there were these items that were produced and finished by others and merely marketed by Parker. Partial manufacturing, yes, but at least to me, complete finishing by others is doubtful. This could be the subject of investigation.
