A Parker Bros. Pump Gun?

[B. Dudley]

It is mentioned in TPS, but all that is shown is a drawing done by Hayes. I do not think that this prototype at Cody was known of by the authors or it would have been included.

I have often wondered what ever happened to any efforts on that project of Hayes. As I figured he would have gone father into it than just a drawing.


I will have to try to inquire with Cody about some details on that gun.

Do you or anyone know what the Redfield in the name was about? I associate the name Redfield with Marlin guns and I believe they make scopes. I am wondering if this example is a one of a kind like the Trojan Skeet Gun. Note that it was/is on loan from Remington Arms.

We visited the museum on Sunday, on the weekends there are no curators at the gun museum to ask any detailed questions, assuming they would know something about any particular gun since they have thousands on display. I noticed the museum staff present were moving between the different museums in the Cody complex. The one I spoke to didn't seem too knowledgeable about guns. It was later that I saw him in the Buffalo Bill museum and then the Western Art museum.
