Longevity

[Hammer Gun]

I am amazed at the quality of the work that went into Parker guns over the years, Ever time I pick up a Parker that is 130-140 years old and it still works as it was intended to, I can't help but shake my head. What if they could make things today that would last that long? Sometimes I think the life span of modern manufactured items are dated to fail at a certain time in order to make the consumer by more. The workers in the Parker Gun Works were craftsmen, that were proud of what they built, and knew it had to pass final inspection, needless to say I bet very few of the guns failed to pass! A testament to proud craftsmen! Gary
