My local gun store called
Hi all,
a friend that owns local store called me today, because he took in a Parker and wanted my help. He knows I like side by sides, but to be honest, this is only about the fourth Parker I have ever seen. To find out if it's original, I guess we could become a member, then pay $$ for the letter...I don't think I want to buy it, but I told him I would do some research.
It is serial number 155408, so I see it was made in 1910. It's a twelve gauge with 26 inch barrels, and has a recoil pad to about a 14" lop. Case coloring is very nice, which makes me think it was redone...and it has a beavertail forearm.
It it makes sense, I can take pics and post them to get some input on originality of barrels, forearm...it looks like it had a middle bead, but removed and filled in?? Cosmetically very nice.
any general info on this serial number would be appreciated...Is it possible that it came originally with a beavertail??
I'll seek permission to take and post pics with the owner tomorrow...
thanks,
Terry
