Like I stated this shotgun has been in my family over 50years I’m not really sure exact but since I was a little kid and I’m almost 50years old this shotgun has always looked the same. I just never really looked at it but since my grandfather has passed many years ago I finally went and shot it this past weekend and it shoots beautifully. Now I can see why it’s been in my family for so many years. Time will tell when I request a letter they have records.

One more “perspective” comment. You state that thr gun has been in your family for 50 years, so,even if has been in your family for 70 years, it was around 75 years old when your Great Grandad got the gun......that is a lot of unknown history, and undoubtedly that gun has had a storied life!! Oh, by the way, I’m still waiting for some long lost relative to hand a Parker, of ANY ilk or condition my way, ahhh but hope springs eternal!
