It's been brought to my attention that there is incorrect data in the Serialization Book. S/N's 130933 thru 130955 are skewed by 1 S/N in the book. The order books and stock books are correct and that is what the letters are based on. You may want to make a notation in your Serialization Book next to those S/N's.

Chuck , forgive my ignorance but does that mean the serial # 130933 is the correct identification for gun 130934 ??? Hopefully I am not the only confused member here :rotf:!

Forget what I said about the S/N's being skewed by 1 S/N. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. Don't make this more confusing then necessary, my head will explode:banghead: Just make a notation in your S/N book that the data may or may not be correct for that S/N range. If you have a S/N in that range, rest assured that the order book and stock book entries will be correct and your letter will be correct.

Unfortunately, we see more and more errors in the serialization book as time progresses. And it is turning out not to be the resource we thought it was. The vast majority of data in the Serialization book is correct but some is not, but no matter what you want to learn about a Parker gun it sure can't reliably replace a good ol' PGCA Research Letter.
