1928 SBT Upgraded?

[Drew Hause]

It may be a Pachmayr upgrade. Some of the guns were reported to have been stocked in Germany

The 'case colors' on the forend iron do not appear to be original

[Ralph Miller]

All, great information on the potential history. I bought the SB in Ca about 5 years ago, it was my first Parker SB. The Pachmayr pad was obviously added some time later, maybe in the 1950's or 1960's. The forearm has a number 3060 written in pencil on the inside? It looks like the original owner shot this SB a lot, but took good care of it.

Thanks,

Ralph

A letter will not provide information on remington era repairs.

Unfortunately the Remington IBM cards and codes ‘never’ indicate the service or repair work done and a PGCA Research Letter can’t provide that information if it’s not in the factory records.

Good chance the extra engraving on the barrel and the stock carving were done in Germany and there are two likely scenarios -- 1. Pachmayr sent it to West Germany to be done. 2. A U.S. service man had it done while stationed in West Germany.

[Dean Romig]

Or did Pachmayr have in-house craftsmen who would do that?

I doubt Pachmayr did the work; too crude. I had dealings with their engravers: Richard Boucher, Geno Cargnel, Angelo Bee, & their stockmaker Engilbert Olafsson who I learned stockmaking from. Englebert besides being an excellent stockmaker was an excellent carver.

It is a beautiful and unique Parker SB, that I bought at an estate sale, through my local gun shop, along with a few Browning Superposes. I did not think it was original at the time, but it was a good deal and I did not have a Parker SB. I am now planning on shooting it and comparing it to my Browning BT-99.

Thanks for all the information you provided, on this unique Parker SB,

Ralph

I’m betting you will love shooting this SB.
