Parker Letter

David Feldbaumer · 03-31-2016, 11:06 AM

Hello - I'm a newbie to the forum. I was introduced to the PGCA by a friend recently. I have a question regarding obtaining a 'factory letter' from the association for my GH Parker. I bought the 'Parker Gun Identification & Serialization' book, but the serial number for my GH is skipped. I would surmise this means there are no factory records for this gun. Is that the case or is there in fact information available to PGCA beyond that which is in the book? The serial number is 140739. It is a 12ga on a 1 1/2 frame with DT and damascus barrels made in 1907. Best Regards, David

There is a link on the left of the home page for research letters

That allows you to check for available factory records

It says there are surviving records for your gun, So you can get a letter

Not every factory record was a available for the compilation of the serialization book

Welcome David! PGCA has records for more Parkers than are shown in the serialization book. In your case, it looks like PGCA does have records for your gun. If you join PGCA and order a research letter, you will save money. It is a great organization and you will enjoy being a part of it.
