Default What is your earliest made and latest made Parker in your collection?
What is the earliest gun made in your collection and the latest gun made? My earliest is a Grade 1 Top Lever Hammer gun #54073 12ga 30 Laminate barrels made in 1890, my latest made is a CHE #173441 12ga 32" damascus #3 frame made in 1916, only a 26 year spread. I'm sure others have a much greater spread in years made. Here is a picture of the pair.

Craig I believe you used to have that 6 frame and it would be my latest at 1902. I'm pretty partial to it since it's somewhat of a local gun originally.
