Newly inherited SBT

[Jeff Weihing]

Hey Mark, Thank you for all the info. The more I research Parkers, the more I fall in love with the history. Already have started an early look into getting another one. Your knowledge is amazing and I really appreciate it. Do you have any idea about my other post? The one about the handwritten, in pencil 287 on the inside of the forearm? The # doesn't mean anything to my family and I doubt that my grandpa would have written it. Also does not have any connection to the SN.

Your welcome Jeff. My knowledge is small and limited compared to the more serious collectors. But could tell that you were excited and looking for info. No I can't really guess as to the meaning of the number on the forearm. Two good sources of information that any Parker man wants to have access to are 'PARKER GUN identification & serialization' and 'THE PARKER STORY' . The first is easy to obtain and affordable the second is abit more difficult , maybe out of print right now. But sometimes they come up for sale. Invaluable and worth every penny if you want to chase around after Parker shotguns. Best of luck to you and stay on the website here. The fellas are VERY helpful and friendly. Much info and help for new guys. Keep you cheek down tight, your elbows up and loose, don't think to much, and FOCUS on the bird. Good luck, Mark
