Phil,
The PGCA has no records for your gun. However Griffin & Howe does so contact Bob Beach at G&H. Just a note on these high S/N Remington guns. Remember, these were depression era guns and many times they sat at the hardware store or sporting goods store for a long time without being sold. I see quite often large shipments of Parker's returned to Remington for credit. Remington would recondition these guns and resell them. |

Phil:
I would follow the advice you have received from few members in this thread to post photos, as many very high condition Parkers, even late ones that are "only" 73 years old have had a complete restoration yet are sold as 98%. The lack of late Remington records for extras such as a straight stock or SS trigger also complicates the matter. However, many of our members (not myself) have a depth of experience with Parkers that allows them to make a very good guess if the gun has been restored, and they can often identify who did the work by the case colors. Than aside, if you really like the gun, it shoots well, and you and plan to keep it for some time, then the fact it may have been restored becomes less important. |

PM sent.
Is the trigger a Parker or a Miller?

Phil, before you jump into any trades make certain it is not a refinished gun. Some refinish jobs... no, most refinish jobs will be considerably less valuable than an original, untouched Parker in the same level of condition. Show us some picures before you make the trade.
Incidentally, you can't get a letter from Remington on your Parker. We, the PGCA, are the only source for a letter on your Parker, if there is even any information. There is also the possibility that Bob Beach at Griffin & Howe may have information on your Parker. Oops.... Sorry Chuck - I just saw your . |

I will post some pictures when I return from my hunt and get feedback before doing any trading. I appreciate all of the feedback thus far.
