Parker with blown barrel

[Terry Johnson]

I truly appreciate everyone's input and I believe cutting the barrel is the best route for me. Is there anyone that can tell me what the "Kf" mark on the underside of the barrel flats means?

[Dean Romig]

Kf is the stamp of the barrel inspector Walter King, son of the Parker Bros. Gun Works superintendant for roughly 30 years Charles A. King. So the "K" is for King and the "f" indicates 'finished'.

[Bill Zachow]

Because of the format of the "f", it more likely was an abbreviation for facit, Latin for "made it".

Here is a set of 30" VH barrels on GB now.
