What IS 226709 a prototype for?

Please refer to my EXTENSIVE writings in both DGJ and PP from 2013 for details.

It was a prototype built buy James Hayes for many different purposes. It was essentially the direction Parker guns would have taken if it were not for the Depression and sale of the company. It is a 1-1/2 frame gun by the way.

I personally own Hayes earlier prototype version for 226709. A PP article is intended on it specifically. If I can ever find the time.
I will never again write anything for DGJ. Any of my efforts will be focused on PP.
