No response because no 205XXXs in the book.

The records in the Serialization book skip right over the 205 range of serial numbers.

Get a PGCA research letter before buying ANY Parker you want information on.

Thanks for the information. Do you know if the records were lost or why they aren’t there? It’s a 12 gauge VH and I was told it was made in 1923. Does that year coincide at all with the 205 numbers? Thanks again!

There are several missing books from which we get the production records. Your gun’s serial number falls within 1 of those missing books. The 205 range is definitely in the 1923 range.
