What is the oldest serial number still around?
 

What's the oldest serial Parker Bros you've seen?

I have personally owned a T-latch with 2 digit serial number. I think it was 39 off the top of my head. And i am pretty sure that the Meriden Historical society has a single digit T-latch. Hard to get older than that.

Wow. That is hard to get older than a single digit. I have 02520 10g and it seems to be a pretty old one. Found it in Montana in 1994 at an estate sale. The only family member said the gun had hung on the wall since he was a kid and he was close to 80 at the time. I'm hoping to find out some more history about it and try to peg a valuation for insurance. Not sure if it's any more valuable being older or not.

#7 resides with a PGCA member.

Temporarily in my possession are two guns in the PGCA Collection Nos. 99. and 0100.

I have #46 a 10 gauge back action with Laminated Steel barrels

I have 97, 029, both back action chambered for the 12-B shell. Gary

I have serial no.27. 12 have. Back action.

I have seen Jimmy's 27 and it is a cool gun, even if rough shape. The earliest I have is 152. I want to break into the double (and hopefully single) digits in the future

Me too Mills...I would like to increase my collection of back action Parkers. I would like to find a nice one with damascus barrels(instead of decarbonized steel).

I do think it is remarkable that the 2 Dean has are consecutive at #99 and #100. Then Gary has #97. Who would have thought those would still be around 150 years later!
