Few realize it, but the H&R double is probably the primary reason why the Parker hammerless gun exists. Details in my upcoming book...

Dean:
My book detailing the complete story of Anson & Deeley is at the publisher's now. I will let the good folks at PGCA know when and where it will be available. But for now, I offer this august audience an excerpt from my chapter on William Anson, specifically, Westley Richards' 1883 correspondence re: Parker Bros.


"Messrs. Harrington & Richardson
Worcester, Mass. USA

Gentlemen:
We have an application from Parker Bros. Meriden, Conn., asking us to give them a license to make our hammerless action. This of course we are unable to do as you are our sole licensee for the whole of the United States..."


MUCH more in the book. From ALL involved.
