If a second set of barrels on a Parker, even if numbered to the gun, does not have the 2 stamp and its own forend, it was most probably not done by Parker or Remington.
And “Battle” thinks those barrels are cut... .

Stan , according to " The Parker Story " there were also 16 D Grade or # 3 Graded Guns that left the factory with Vulcan Steel Barrels and the book says the Serial #'s for these 16 guns fall between Serial Number 82275 and 88725 and all were 12 Gauge with 30" Barrels ! If you don't own a set of " The Parker Story " and you are considering Buying / Collecting Parker's this set of books are the best $300.00 or so that you will spend ! I can assure you these books will save you many many times the price of them maybe even on your first Parker purchase ! I have been messing around with these guns for 20 years and there is hardly a day I don't get one or both of them out to find out information !

The Parker Story my 2nd Parker purchase, first VH 12 was with a friends help. Books kept me on track for future purchases Gun library essential if buying vintage. Agree some are not so good.

In such a massive undertaking as The Parker Story a few errors sneak in, and there are a number of errata sheets --
