According to the Euroarms website referring to the Enfield reproductions they produced:
The barrels of our replicas are made in Italy. Therefore the Parker Hale marking do not attest that the barrel was made in England by Parker Hale.09-11-2022, 01:53 PM -
Maybe this question is redundant. I'm looking at a Euroarms Enfield with a lockplate that says 'London Armory Co.' From what I've read in this thread, can I assume that the barrel was still made using Parker and Hale machinery, even though the lockplate doesn't try to market it as a Parker and Hale?...09-03-2022, 05:16 PM

I've decided to part with this 1851 London Colt Navy pistol. I purchased it from Lodgewood a couple of years ago - somewhat of an impulse buy - but I knew it would get gobbled up quickly if I didn't. Two years later, it's still unfired and I'm probably not going to get the use from it which I had originally...01-05-2023, 12:09 PM
