Interesting

A little info on Try Gun s/n 173259 that belonged to G & H .

I do not remember the year ,but in the early 70's while I was at the Las Vegas spring gun show, I purchased several Parkers, one of the guns was a Parker Try Gun owned by Griffin& Howe s/n 173259. I had the gun for many years and ultimately sold it to Jim Parker . After Jim's death ,I think his estate consigned the gun to Julia's auction.

My records say it was a 2 frame,30" twist, 98% wood finish,99% barrel pattern, and 10% case color, with original adjusting key.

One additional tidbit-----I purchased two Parker try guns at that show and the other one had steel barrels.

Dean:

I do not recall the specifics of the gun, however,it was a V grade ----that I remember. I sold the gun shortly after returning to Nashua to a gun dealer,so the info on the gun as to the transfer is now in the archives of the BTAF.
