Parker Field and Son Holbourn England

[lorrick]

Hi All, Has anyone out there got any information on the company "Parker Field and Son Holbourn England" It is on an old percussion cap pistol I dug up in my aunts garden about 40 years ago, stock is nothing special and the hammers missing, I don't think the people living in her house now would let me go around with a metal detector. But just wanted some info on it.

Thanks

Richard
