Ed, there were two issues raised that TPS fills in; the forend loop for beavertail forends and the serial number markings on the forend. I am a long way from being a Parker expert, yet TPS enables me to sometimes sound like I know what I am talking about.
On the SN, you purposefully did not disclose the entire SN for some reason. There were unfinished guns left over at the close of Ilion production and there is a list of those guns. They were finished by others, often Lefever. Those guns often had features that did not comply with the Parker norm. By going to the internet, you ask people who hang around here and some who may answer. A few may be experts, but many have opinions. Few knowledgeable people give definite opinions without having a gun in hand. Some of the most competant Parker people I know make it a practice to never respond here. |

bruce: just so we understand each other...i respect the book. it is the best of its kind ever written. but being print media, it is frozen in time and is therefore limited. it can only be added to if revised. whereas, the internet is almost like a living thing. it's knowledge base is ever expanding. and i must confess, i am lazy and seek the path of least resistance. it is so much quicker to find info on web sites or in this case access the server brains of other knowledgeable parker aficionados who frequent this and other forums...and thanks again for your input and gentlemanly response to my question regarding the likelyhood that this fine gun has been restocked. ed....flush....

Ed, the Parker beavertail sub rib from the barrel flats to the forend lug should look like the same area of the Belgian barrels if it is original. I am guessing it is an original beavertail gun if it is, in fact, a skeet gun. The option code in the Serialization Book means nothing.
