Need serial number id please - Page 2

Actually, your serial number is in the range of earlier hammerless guns with non-rebounding hammers and those notches in the extractor were put there at the time of manufacture for that specific reason. When you fully open the gun the hammers will cock and the "pins" will no longer be visible. Dry-firing a hammerless Paarker will do no damage.

Someone will get on here momentarily and tell you how to cock your gun. I don't know if there is something different about a non rebounding gun when it comes to putting it back together after firing.

Dan: Your Parker 57087, while not in the "BOOK", is in a range of "D3" guns built in 1889. That translates to "Grade 3" in stock book "20M" or "G" Grade. Some one here should be able to tell you how to get the hammers cocked & firing pins released, if not, call Jim Kelly at Darlington Gun Works at (843) 393-3931. He will be able to tell you. Tell him that I told you to call.

Best Regards, George

Thanks again for the information. I've pushed on the pins(hammers on this gun) with just finger pressure and they still move and have tension, but for some reason they will not engage the cocking mech now. I've tried it with it assembled and disassembled with the catch rod (under forearm) depressed and still nothing. I looked over the schematic on the parker site and am hoping its something simple and not a broken sear.

George, what are you talking about?
In the range of a D3, translates to a Grade 3, or G grade.
I'm totally confussed, I think I missed something.

The gun is a "D2" which is a Damascus barreled Grade 2 or G Grade.

Dean & Dave: I think that I got confused. All the guns in "THE BOOK" beginning with SN 57030 and ending with 57207, with the exception of SN 57064 which is a "D4", are "D3s" which, I should have said "translates to a D Grade (not G) with Damascus Steel barrels" But the gun as shown is definitely a Grade 2 or "G Grade" with Damascus Steel barrels. A letter from PGCA should confirm this.

I stand corrected........George

It was all in the wording George. I know you knew what you meant.
