Chuck ,could you share the story about this gun ...I find it absolutely fascinating that it could persevere .

Things like that just don't happen where I come from,living on the edge of the new world in the North Atlantic a hundred years nobody could afford to have something that would never be used...unless maybe swim trunks.


But back to the serious stuff,I have never seen a pristine gun of any type up here,they were used until they literally fell apart in your hands.

Many hammer guns that I have removed the lock plates from to expose the original CC sealed away inside, have given me the impression that original Parker colors had more reds and yellows, compared to the colors we often see on a restoration today. I think this gun gives a good indication of that.

I think this gun deserves a story in the Parker Pages.
