SN 184518

[Chris]

I've ordered a letter to check on this gun. Local guy has it for sale. The stock & forend looks rough, cracked and missing pieces on butt plate & PG plate, very worn stock with some cracks. Looking thru my Parker books and on this site I know it was a 1919 gun, VH with Vulcan barrels. It's a 12g with 26" barrels F/M by a gauge. Barrels look like they have been re-blued but the end of the barrel looks shiny (ie bare metal). No pitting or dents on the barrels. The barrels look like they might have been cut down as they are not square, but the wedges are there and the barrels meet with no gap. He wants $800.00

Anything would help until I receive my letter back.

Thanks-
Chris

Chris,
It does not appear in the Serialization Book.

Tough call if you don't know whether the barrels were cut or not. Is there a blank space in the rib matting at the muzzle? The blank space, if original, is a sign that the barrels are probably not cut.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check next week on that. I'll try to take a few pictures also.

Looking thru "The Parker Story", looks like I might be out of luck on any more infomation. It states that the Stock Books are missing from 1919.

Not a really good picture but here's the barrel ends. Card on camera messed up.

The rib picture is out of focus. Try again.

I'm bringing another camera Monday...
