When is a Parker, not a Parker? I own an 1863 "PARKERS'SNOW & CO., MERIDEN CONN." contract model 1861 musket. 1863 is stamped on the lock and barrel. It is in very good condition and is a shooter. I use it to hunt. In order to begin establishing the provenance for my file, I would like to learn about the manufacture and delivery of the 1863 rifles. There are no serial numbers. Are the Civil War Parker, Snow & Co. records still available? Any information is appreciated. I too am a proud owner of a Parker. Wayne
