Finding "Grade"

[Dean Romig]

First - Welcome!

Next, does it say just Parker or does it say Parker Bros.?

Parker Bros. guns were 'never' marked "Fine Twist" and this leads to my above question.

Hi Dean - - I worked for years for an Andover start-up - - they sent me to Texas, and I have been here ever since - - . I'm still wrestling with 'navigation', and trying to separate PMs from Posts, so bear with me - -

Sorry if I said "fine twist" - - it was "plain twist" that was engraved on the barrel rib - - . In one reference manual, it showed the "grade" above the serial number on the watertable, along with some other data. On mine, it just shows the S/N - - so there is still a question on that one. The one in the pub looked like it was a later vintage, so it may have changed over time.

Great fun. Thanks for contributing.
