Gary, Your Parker 123336 is listed in the "Serialization Book" as a V grade 16 gauge gun with 30" barrels and a pistol grip stock. The "badge you refer to was standard on Parker Bros. gun in the V,P and G grade guns. Guns of a higher grade and an oval shield.They were for initials or sum such.

Autumn Daze forgot to say that it's a 16ga not a 14ga. Also is the metal broken behing the safety? Looks like it on the pictures. If so, you need to get that fixed.

And the Parker Gun Identification and Serialization book shows it to be a 16 gauge.

RST is the place to but the correct loads for your Parker. Measure the chamber length first befroe ordering any ammo.

the line behind the safety seems to be a deep scratch, if its broke its verry tight i will take the gun to a gun smith and get it checked out.
