Thank you for the info.
I guess its a good thing that it is a low grade gun, given the horrible condition it is in today. I will try to return it to operating condition, at least. |

Serial number 21733 has the T with the crescent above and below, with a tiny E to the right. I saw that M on 20930 and wondered if it was for Musket barrel steel?
What does it say on the rib? |

Barrel rib indicates plain twist steel.
So the serial number 20930 would make this an 1881 produced gun? The 1875 date may be a patent mark instead of its manufacture? Also this gun has the later forend latch instead of the cross pin found on most of the early ones that I have seen, is that unusual? I will post a picture of the complete gun once it is reassembled. This one is a "truck gun" grade Parker. |
