On the subject of early lifters, I remembered I had photographed Parker No. 43 when I visited the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody WY a few years ago. I believe the contoured grip is a factory add-on allowing for the choice of a straight grip or modified pistol grip.

Dean,Did that gun have a schneibal(sic.) type forend?I looks a little odd to me.

[Dean Romig]

No, it's a rather poor picture but what you're looking at is the black plastic sheathed hanger just like the one behind the trigger guard. It has a normally shaped key-latch splinter forend.
