Funny you mention that...

I was going through my stuff and actually found that I had a new old stock small cap also. I forget what I have sometimes.
I did send that one off with the old style cap to have a mold made.
The molds are made as of now and I wilL be having some made up for my inventory soon.

Just looking at the grip caps on my guns and noticed that the small size has a period or comma after MERIDEN but the large size doesn't?!?

Attachment 85644

The one on my 00-frame VHE appears to have a period there where it should be a comma.

Parker Bros. were always very good at proper punctuation in their roll stamps for rib legends and elsewhere if punctuation was expected for proper English.

Another real trivia grip cap item. Did they make a small size PARKER / ILION, N.Y. grip cap? In another thread about 20-gauge 241779 I noticed it has a PARKER BROS. / MERIDEN. CONN. grip cap.
