Thanks for the additional info! Unfortunately, I am on a mission. Where are the archives for the Parker Guns, and what I have read there Order Books that listed who the guns where sold to. I was told by my grandfather that this was made for him since he was only age 14. I know that there were 648 16 gauge guns made in 1908, which is not a small number but the pictures of the Order Books lists dates and names, and given when he received the gun in October 1908 could there not be a chance something was listed? I do not know how long it took to make a gun, but my Great Grandfather owned a Feed and Grain Store in Petersburg, VA and they might have had access to Parker Guns?
My recollection was that this was a plain gun "no engraving", and due to his size it would probably even had max barrel length of 28", probably shorter.
