Dave, send us a copy of the letter on that gun, and maybe pictures. Thanks.

Bill always assumes that everyone has a letter for every gun they have owned.

Wouldnt that be nice.

Bill, I no longer own the gun and the letter. This gun had been redone by George Flaim many years ago and it was right as rain.

Dave, did your gun have the marking for frame size or the s/n on every part?
Mine only has the s/n on the under side of both bbl's, no other markings, although there is F,CB stamped on the stock face near the tang groove.

Those look like Birmingham stamps - Rick Losey will know for sure.

First of those stamps I've seen on Parker barrels. They are definitely Laminated of some sort.

You Sir, have an extremely unusual Parker.

Dean is correct

Provisional Birmingham proof- remarkably clear set of marks

Hi Rick: On another site (Damascus Knowledge) there was a pic of a set of bbl's showing the Birmingham proof hallmark with numbers next to it and they implied that the numbers are the bbl makers ID No. If that is true then the only info I have on the gun is the manufacture date on the bbl rib 1869. do you think that could be correct
