Its All About The Details, Isn't It?

First year of internal hammer production, 1889, and one of the first Quality AH guns.

If I had to guess, it would be Jacob Glahn as the engraver. Look at the dogs and the turned head layout, which is consistant with a Glahn initialed gun I have examined.

While rare is over used, I think its correct to say that serpent engraving on a Parker is rare. I know of maybe only two others.

Interesting stuff. According to TPS 55757 was the first hammerless Grade 6 gun. The next number listed is 56753.This wonderful specimen falls between these numbers. Could this gun be the second one made?

BTW....1888 is the first year of hammerless production. Sorry but I'm a little anal about this kinda stuff....

Would this be number four? Grade seven made in 1902. Sorry for the lousy pic but it's all I have.
