Randy, did you get the serial number on this gun? I have only ever seen one other Parker with these recessed breech faces… could even be the same gun.

I think I recognize that C grade with Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels as having been sold by Robin Lewis to Charlie Herzog…. Beautiful Parker in any case!

Congratulations!

Here is my info in case it is helpful. Serialization book shows 5 laminated Grade 4 lifters.

11413 12g 28"
13827 12g 28"
14313 12g 30"
14680 12G 30"
17421 16g 28"

If you own the 16 gauge, give me a call!

Dean R,

This one I picked up from a dealer in Texas, not sure where it was before.

Dean W,

That sure does look like a twin, Wow! This is 11102, are we close in terms of serial number? I will be looking to you to see how the hammers compare. I guess when I pull them, it will be pretty easy to tell which if any is original to the gun by the serial number.

Gary, Lifter Envy is easily remedied, just keep your eyes open

So it appears my right hammer is from a D3, looks to have more engraving than the hammer original to this gun.
Finding a right hammer for a Grade 4 is probably pretty near impossible?? And then being the same engraving ?
Maybe someone here owns serial #13939, that would crazy?

Good luck with that Stan. Maybe someone could rework the hammer to match

The good thing is when they’re both mounted on the gun you can’t see the slight difference between them.

Good point Dean,
the engraving on the side is not noticeable at that point, but the different height of the hammers is obvious and the engraving on the area of the hammer where your thumb lands when cocking is of different size.
