I think I have given you this but here it is again.
In support of an ongoing project by David Minshall of the MLAGB, I'd be very grateful if those of you here who have ANY Parker-Hale muzzleloading rifle or Musketoon would advise me of the serial number.
TIA.

I think I have given you this but here it is again.
Please tell David Minshall at Research Press - .http://www.researchpress.co.uk/
He is always on the lookout for P-H serials - yours has the air of being one of the last Musketoons made by P-H before the partial and then full sell-out.
0 - 9000 - completely made by Parker-Hale at the Golden Hillock road, Birmingham, factory.
9001 - 14000 - made by Euroarms with Parker-Hale barrels ready proofed in Birmingham, many P-H components and Italian wood.
Post 14001 - totally-made in Italy with Italian-made barrels made on P-H tooling.

No need to tell me, I'm just the messenger. Tell David Minshall on the address I posted above. Your Musketoon, BTW, was made in Italy using one of the remaining P-H barrels, and of the rest of the P-H parts, but with Italian woodwork. Note that ALL P-H barrels were Birmingham-proofed before they were passed on to the furriners for completion and eventual sale via Euroarms dealerships. After #14000 they are ALL Italian, and no longer can claim to be anything to do with P-H, unless you are a believer in homeopathy.

I had 3 Parker Hale rifles and all sold sometime ago.
Calibre 0.451 serial number 454. 2 band rifle.
" 0.451 " " H1670.
" 0.577 " " 4839.
#454 was an excellent rifle and used on 100 and 200 yd ranges in Yorkshire.
The .577 used on 100 yds range only.
Hope this info is of use.
Regards, HM
