There are many differences between your two Parkers. The opening mechanisms are similar and are based on the same original design but the higher serial number gun has 'improvements' incorporated in its operation.

Parker No. 101 is much more desirable to collectors both by its superior condition as well as by its originality and somewhat higher dollar grade than a basic Parker with decarbonized steel barrels.

I am finding that out as I investigate each of them.
I am excited to learn about both of them.
I have seen that there is a vast wealth of knowledge on this site, concerning the Parker shotguns.

Congratulations on 3 wonderful Parker shotguns. The hammer checkering on the third gun does not appear to match. Do you know if one of the hammers has been replaced and if so, which one is the original?

Regarding 101, look closely at the 2nd pic on pg. 1. Is that a crack through the wrist just behind the top strap?

Parker 101 is a wonderful example of the deluxe grade backaction. I have seen and owned several backactions but I have only examined one other deluxe grade gun and its condition was no where near as nice as yours. Congratulations.

Thank you, however I have 2 of them... SN9996 and SN101..... I may have made it a bit confusing with the number of pics that I posted.

Autumn Daze,
Thank you for the kind words. I have owned the other one for a few years but recently picked up the 101. It is in much better condition than 9996, but they are both works of art, in my opinion.

I took a close look at 101. It does not appear to be a crack. If it is, someone did a wonderful job to repair it.
