Don't see serial# on the barrel unless it's behind the extractor? https://i.postimg.cc/MTdmSJnN/IMG-3355.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SN69cpr9/IMG-3354.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/T2kFGZmr/IMG-3356.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/sXbnGRJ8/IMG-3360.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4dGyfYDF/IMG-3352.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/mkJGrqc2/IMG-3353.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Z5Y1S4sF/IMG-3359.jpg

Serial numbers are stamped on LEFT side of barrel lugs. Your picture (1st) is showing the right side.

[Eddie Kay]

O.K., Thanks

[Dan Steingraber]

I think that the “2” on the forend iron indicates that it was a 2nd forend, likely for a 2nd set of barrels.

[Eddie Kay]

If I'm not mistaken the 2 is for "G" grade.

[Dean H Hanson]

Eddie, Steiner is correct. The 2 on the forend represents the second set of barrels.

[Eddie Kay]

There's also a 2 on the water table of the frame and underlug of the barrel.

[Dean Romig]

The 2 on the water table is the stamp for the grade… 2.

Each of those numeral 2s on your gun means something different.

The 2 on the bottom of the barrel lug indicates the frame size of the gun --

132165

the center to center spacing of the firing pins 1 2/16-inch.

The 2 above the serial number on the watertable of the frame is the Grade of the gun --

132166

The 2 beneath the serial number on the forearm iron indicates it is the forearm for and number 2 set of barrels.

132167

The number 2 set of barrels should have a numeral 2 stamped on the bottom of the forearm loop like this gun --

132168

[Bill Murphy]

We hope you have purchased this great gun.

[Eddie Kay]

Yes a number 2 on the forarm loop and serial numbers match on the barrels. https://i.postimg.cc/FFq0rgBG/IMG-3369.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jqgYLCHM/IMG-3368.jpg

Beautiful barrels do you have both sets?

[Eddie Kay]

Negative on the other set. I'll try to find out tomorrow.

[Brian Dudley]

Those barrels were added after 1910 as they are fitted with the stepped wear plate.

[Eddie Kay]

That's good new's of the newer wear plate.Good eye. Maybe the original barrels were damaged and sent back for a new set, rather than it being a two bbl. set from the start.Would there be a letter of documentation on this shotgun?

[Dean Romig]

After 1910 virtually any Parker that was sent back to the factory for any reason also received the new wear plate and bolt gratis and there are few records, if any, of this having been done that would show up in a research letter.

Eddie , if you go to the top left corner of the screen you will see " PGCA Home" Click that then when it pops up look down the column on the left side of the page and you will see " Research Letters " click that then a Bar will come up for you to search your serial # and you will find that there are records for your serial # available ,I know ,I already looked ! At that point just follow the directions to purcahse your letter !
If you haven't joined yet ,you should do so because the cost of the letter is Greatly reduced when you are a member and offsets the cost of your letter ! Other than that there are many other perks to being a member in the PGCA !

[Eddie Kay]

Thanks Brush Buster. Did that and it say's there are records.
