Jim,
Thanks for looking - I'm sure it was cut, all the indicators of a cut barrel are there. I'll have the wall thickness measured next weekend - will be where I can have a guns smith check it for me. Tom |

That number may not be in the book. But the homepage search does indicate that the PGCA has order book records on your gun. So you could get a letter on it.

Brian,
Thanks, I was planning on applying for a letter. My intent is to restore it and shoot it. I 'm not concerned with value, but in having a nice looking Parker that I can shoot and occasionally take hunting. So, anything more that is a bonus. Started working on cleaning up the barrels yesterday so will be asking question to get through this process - I'm in no hurry, just puttering along working on it. Tom |

Shoot the gun. The birds won't care or don't know the barrels were cut. If it patterns well at the ranges you shoot- shoot it. Save restoration money for another Parker. The English love 27 inch barrels anyway. They can't all be wrong. Have fun with it.

That's because they are on the metric system.

Grade 2 Parkers are underrated, in my opinion, and are great guns
