need help with id of parker gun

[Pa SxS]

Diane,

I do the research letters now, not Mark Conrad. As mentioned go to the Research Letters link on the home page and print out the form. Don't worry about the grade, I'm following this thread. I'll type out the letter with all the information available and send it to you.

The request shows the address to send it to which is P.O. Box 126502 Harrisburg, Pa. 17112

If anyone is interested there was a great thread in December of 09 http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthr...ght=chris+lien that had some great pics and good discussion on determining the grade of these older lifters. I have an 1874 dollar grade 3251 similar to Diane’s gun but was told at the time that there was not enough information in the PGCA records on which to base a letter. Chuck, if you feel a letter can be produce from the materials we have please let me know and I will send in my request.

Larry, in the "other" thread, you described your #3251 as an 1878 gun. Are you sure about that?

Bill, I did not reread my post but do recall being corrected as to the date of manufacture. Number 3251 was produced in 1874 and from what the folks that have seen it say it was a $250.00 grade.
