////Thanks everyone! I was right about my gun being 1st year production, but was wrong about it not having a serial number. It is one of the earlier back-action lifter models with a serial number of 46. My gun is identical to the 11 gauge lifter,serial number 63, posted by Charlie Cleveland on 03/24/2016.....Lonnie.

If not by now, i dont think that we will see them.
Of the eatly guns that i have seen, it is not out of the ordinary for them to not have serial numbers on the trigger guards.
When Lonnie mentioned 46, i think we were all thinking unstruck weight. But an eatly gun like this would not have those typical markings as on later guns.

To get to Lonnies original question, the conditon of the gun is not known since we dont have photos, but in nearly any situation, the cost of “restoration” is going to exceed the value of the gun. These early guns are of genuine interest to Parker folks and are good pieces for those who want to add an early example to their collection. Many of them are more considdered to be “relics” more for looking at and studying vs shooting on a regular basis.

I think most of the confusion stemmed from the number posted as 4(space)6 rather than how it is actually stamped on the gun 46

Default Quid Pro Quo

Lonnie,

Although I am a bit of a newbie in comparison to many on this site, I have also learned that the compensation for extracting knowledge from this forum of Parker experts, is to allow the group to increase their collective knowledge by sharing your resources also. Several different times in this thread, members have asked for pictures of your gun, as any example not seen by the group, and particularly unique examples, such as your very early gun, do not allow the collective knowledge of the group increase.

I absolutely dont want to be accusatory.....but a reply such as, “I dont know how”, “I dont want to”, “i dont have pictures”, would at least cool the frstration. There were 6 seperate requests for pics, and I for one was waiting with bated breath to see the gun...

No offense intended, especially to Charlie, of whom I am a HUGE fan of his posts....

I have a Parker hammer gun I paid $750 that has laminate barrels. It cost me $350 to have the barrels redone. Was it worth it ? Probably not, but I wanted to see what they looked like. The price has gone up a bit, but even a $1000 for barrels and case colors to me wouldn't be out of the question if the stock was in decent shape. Even if you paid another 500 for the stock to be cleaned up [ or do it yourself ] and you'd have a damn fine gun. Some guns I leave as is, and others I work on myself, or pay someone to redo the items I don't feel I can do myself. What they're worth in the end is what my wife can get for them after I'm gone to the happy hunting grounds.
