I have some information on Parkers which may have been parted out.
Some background: I had ordered a trigger plate and some other parts for 56901 from Numrich, and, due to some ordering quirk, I received three orders. For the record, I received trigger plates from 63538 (swirl engraving), 139465 (pheasant/bird engraving), and from 175201 (plane). Also, forend tips received were from 2358? (plane), 87674 (engraved), and from 88603 (engraved).
On another purchase on ebay I received a forend lock from 223184.
It can be presumed that these guns had been parted out. I thought that the Association might be keeping records of such findings and wanted to list this information for the benefit of our members.
I’m “restoring” 56901, a grade E 10 gauge, with a #2 frame. Sometime in the distant past the correct #2 barrels were replaced with #3 10 gauge 32 inch Damascus Steel barrels from 58692. Don’t know why or what happened to 58692 but it was likely parted out too. I’d very much like to obtain a set of #2 10 gauge 32 inch Damascus Steel barrels to return the gun to its original configuration. Can anyone help? I’d also like to obtain a set of #2 12 gauge steel barrels to allow me to occasionally actually shoot the gun. Can anyone help here too?
