I am not in the book business. At least not usually.

But you are right, people do seem to have a hard time finding them. But I do not think it has anything to do with availability.

Our friends at Double Gun Journal offer them in every issue. They certainly are a supporter of our organization and other organizations as well.

Not everyone objects to looking up information in "the book". If you are new here or own just one Parker and want to know what it says about your gun, ask.:duck: If I see the post I'll answer. No need to buy a book for a single gun lookup.

If you run across a gun somewhere and need information, then too, it's OK by me and I'll answer up.

If you keep asking though,:banghead: then it's time to buy a book and I agree with Brian; you need one. At times it does seem that there are more "lookup" requests than one would expect.:cuss:

In my defense, I’ve answered a couple posts asking something like “How many grade 3 16 gauges were made with 26” barrels?” Or something similar with my copy of The Parker Story.. But yeah, I’m sure it gets annoying.

Kirk

just good natured ribbing, at least from me.

I think I have looked numbers up for you before, and will again

I have the book, and may as well use it. And I once posted the same request from my phone from an antique shop, and thanks to a response came home with one of the earliest hammerless guns (at the time it was the lowest listed in the parker pages, but as soon as I said that someone listed a lower number :rolleyes: )

I also passed on an early hammer gun with 28" barrels that I thought must have been cut, got home, looked it up and it was righteous - went back the next day and it was gone :banghead:

so - since the book is not a pocket sized paperback- folks - some who have the book, will keep asking

The serialization book contains a wealth of information beyond just a serial number lookup. It is a miniature synopsis of Parker information. It is the best source of Parker information for less than $300.

I travel a good deal, and sometimes ask when I am “away from my book”, and try to make up for it by answering when I can.

So all I had to add was “away from my book”? Damn. :rotf:

If you own a phone and/or a computer and a credit card the book can be on its way in 5 minutes.

I think if your away from your book and ask for a look up which is fulfilled you should make a $25.00 contribution to the PGCA in the name member who did the look up. Just say'n.

If someone wants a look up and I see it I will gladly look it up. It cost me about a minute of my time and if it helps out that's great.
