Parker hammer gun question

[Dean Romig]

I'm not convinced that your opinion is correct Edgar. There HAS to be a reason that the "U" was put in the Action column. There IS an answer someplace and it will turn up, just as the meaning of the "OV" designation for the Trojan will someday turn up.

All that aside, The original question was referring to the stamping on the watertable. Since no other type of action existed at the time that gun was made, why the need to stamp the action type. What other gun ever had any stamping that identified the type of action?

Of course there HAS to be a reason the U appears in the 'Action column', but that doesn't mean that reason originated with Parker Brothers.
