Default Parker 28 "O"/"VF"/"P"?

Hello! New member here from Indianapolis, IN.

I just purchased a Parker 28 built in 1900. According to serial number and barrel type it is an "O" I think. However, the watertable is marked with a "P". All numbers match.

This gun has been reconditioned and is beautiful to look at. I am concerned it isn't correct though.

Any Insight greatly appreciated.

a full serial number will allow us to check to see if the original configuration is in the serialization book.

you should also check the home page link to see if information is available for this gun, if you join the PGCA the letter is a deal

and pictures please - that will help answer your questions

Default serial number

96532

Underside of barrels shows "0". Watertable shows "P". Lifter gun with fluid steel barrels (Parker steel?).

I will post pics later as I am now on my phone due to travel.

Thanks for the quick replies.

Mike

P.s. I will be initiating membership too. Now that I have my first Parker!

that number is not in the serialization book, but there are surviving records for a letter.

The '0' on the barrel lug is the frame size. Not uncommon for a 28ga. to be built on an 0 frame, but Lifter? Are you certain you're describing the action correctly?
Did this gun come from New York?

My bet is that he bought my old favorite #77,352 but can't read numbers. Am I right or wrong? This gun has been my "Lover" for many years.

Bill, you can still love #77,352.

Not a bad profit if he can move it. It sold in Red Hook back in the Spring for half that. Remember the auctioneer who was PMing everybody?

I'd sure like a lifter 28 on an 0 frame.

Default Parker 28 #96532

Okay - probably using the wrong terminology. "Lifter" is not right. It does not have ejectors, only extractors.

I have the serial number listed correctly - 96532

standby and I will put up some pics.
