Fishtail toplevers on Hammerless Parkers

[Dean Romig]

I wonder where, if not in The Parker Story or any of the other books written on the Parker gun, one might find such “empirical data”?

Hopefully Chuck will, although none of the letters for mine say anything about it.

My DH 12 #73179 has a fish tail lever.

[todd allen]

I don't know if this helps, but my 0 Frame 16 hammer gun #72105 Is also a fish tail top lever.

[Mills]

Thanks Todd. That would set an upper limit.

[Scott Gentry]

GH 16 ga 73259 has fishtail. ( Hammerless)

[Mills]

Thanks Scott!

That is another upper limit

Now, does anyone have a hammerless fishtail Parker below 66,000 or above 74,000? Does anyone have a straight toplever within those serial numbers?

i do not have a hammerless gun with a fishtail but have several guns wwith hammers that have the fishtail....all thee of my parker 8 ga hammer guns have the fishtail....several of my 10 gas have the fish tail....the 8 ga serial no s range from 24000 to 60.000i like the fish tail lever on hammer guns but like the straight lever on the hammerless guns...charlie
