Unusual Parker?

[Twice Shooter]

Hi Dean, They were approximately 1/4 to 3/8" from the rear of the chamber on the bottom. They would apply pressure on the brass portion of the shell. They were spring loaded and I think they could be adjusted from outside of the chamber with an Allen wrench to increase or decrease pressure on the shell. They protruded approximately 1/16" through the chamber. I just talked to John Allgood and it was not John who had the gun. It may have been someone who just walked by. And I do have a photographic memory but ran out of film ages ago. Cheers, Tom

Thanks all for your responses. I am not sure what happened when I edited the picture as advised. I can not now access that picture in my documents. It comes up the same as shown in my attempt to post the picture above. I have tried again to attach a JPEG photo exactly as suggested by John Dallas and each time the upload fails.

Tom Carter describes exactly how the gun is configured. I did notice what appears to be Allen screws located under the extractors.

I plan to request a research letter.
