The K stamp is thought to be that of Charles Angus King superintendant of the Parker Brothers Gun Works until 1908.... but there is disagreement on this and I'll just leave it as that. I may well be wrong because Dave has poster a picture on the other thread that shows both stamps on the same barrel flats. His son, Walter King took over the position following his father's tenure. Walter King's mark was WK in an oval.
