Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Back to the original images posted by Bro. Day. Our friend sent me high resolution pics of the 1879 B and I now believe the barrels are also Toncin and not laminated steel. AND I found another gun owned by the same fella, a D Lifter, which might have the same pattern.
Please see http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/23997270
It would be fascinating to know how/why these high grade barrels appeared on late 1870s C&B Lifters. Were they left over from the D.B. Wesson supply? Did Wesson's barrel guy go over to Meriden and make some Laminated steel and Twist barrels in-house in that same time frame??
