Have heard that leftover action bars from Philadelphia Gun Co. were used. I'm sure they demand a premium; whether they command it would, I think, depend a good deal of condition. jack

Story I heard/read was that Parker sued Ansley for using the design, so he changed to the more typical Fox frame profile. I don't think I have ever seen a post-Philadelphia Arms graded Fox with the Parker pin, but have seen several hinge pin Sterlingworths. I, for one, would pay a bit more for a hinge pin Sterly than for a standard Sterly, but not as much as I would pay for a comparable Parker VH. I kinda doubt in today's market that a pin Sterly would bring Trojan prices for a gun in comparable condition. Researcher should be along shortly to enlighten us.

There seem to a handful of them on the market all the time. Every one of them is marked "Rare." As for a premium - you can ask for one and you may get it. I wouldn't pay one, though.
