I'm looking at a Parker with Serial Number 240067 (post 1934). Just curious if someone could please let me know what grade the gun was born with when it left Meridian, CT ? I'm wanting to determine this before requesting a PCGA Letter. Thx! WMH

Serial number 240067 was manufactured in 1936, it didn't leave Meriden, it left Ilion, NY. Remington's first production serial number for a Parker was on June 29, 1934, number 236531.
Attributes for #240067:
"D" Grade
Hammerless
Ejector
Capped Pistol Grip
20 Gauge
28" barrel
I am not an official Parker Bros. historian, actually just an enthusiast who bought the book. YMMV

Minor correction - the Parker Gun Works moved to Ilion in 1937.
