Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
I ran across this little Parker the other day and it shoots very well. It's an unusual gun in that it was made right at the transition of ownership between Parker and Remington in 1934 and it has some unusual features. The letter didn't capture all of them. It has a large forend with the correct barrel lug and reinforcing rod, a Parker single selective trigger that works well, a vent rib and NO safety or even a slot for one. It's not perfect, but I like it because of all of these features.

Very nice! Do you think the engraving where the safety would have been is there to cover a filled in safety slot? I dont know how Parker did their no safety guns, I am sure someone will chime in. What length are the barrels?

It looks to me like the slot is there but has been filled in. I think I see a section of the slot extending to the right of the engraving.
That no safety treatment (filling and engraving over) is often factory done.
And not as often seen is the is the solid (no slot - no filled) top tang more often seen on competition and pigeon guns.
