Default Congratulations Mr Parker! Your grading codes broke my brain!

Okay, I will admit it I'm completely stuck. As much as I wanted to do all the research and background myself it looks like I've come to a slight problem with finding the grade of the shotgun. I looked at it any number of ways and it looks like it could be an IX, it looks like it could be a DX, it looks like it could be a BK for all I know (Burger King take out Happy Meal option). I don't know. Regardless, could someone please take a look at this and tell me what they think? I would appreciate it!

Regards
Kenn

Welcome Kenn! Post a photo of the watertable (part of receiver where barrels go on) and someone can probably help you

Crap! Does that mean I added the image incorrectly?

No, you just posted the wrong part of the gun. We need a picture of the receiver where the barrels fit on. Or at least the serial number

Well, Randy beat me to it. There you have it. What does the rest of the gun look like, condition wise?

That is actually the barrel flat or flats. The water table would be the flat part of the receiver that mates up to the barrel flats. Typically there you will find additional markings that can be helpful to you in determining what you have. I'm with you on that D stamp and what ever that is. Someone here will most likely know but not me. Good luck !

Thank you so much! I have no idea how you figured it out from all those chicken scratches however I do appreciate it very much.

I'll put up more pics for you as soon as I figure out how to do more than two or three at a time. I'm guessing I'll have to post them on imgr and then just send the link.

That took me last time and I thought it would. I will admit now that I am not in my element when photographing the shotgun. It's mostly shots taken with my potato just for discussion purposes. ��
