I have a Parker gun which has the letters CV and JG on the barrel flats. Iknow the JG circled is John Gray a barrel man at the company. The CV in large letter I am not sure of Do you know?

Thanks!

Mike

CV could be a remington repair code.


C = April

V = 1927

I thought JG was Jim Gary??

Actually Fellas it's Jim Geary. Parker Bros. Barrel foreman.

Thanks Guys! I got the name of the barrel man from either Muderlak or Beinfeld (books). I thought the CV in large letters on the barrel flats might be a Parker repair code. Good hunting!

A Remington repair code would end in the number 3 which stood for repair. No Parker would have been repaired by Remington in 1927 as Parker Bros was in full operation at that time as an independent company.

Look more closely at the CV, is it really OV? OV was Parker's code for the Trojan grade. Does the rib stamping on your barrels say "Trojan Steel"?
