8 gauge production numbers and grades

[Jack Cronkhite]

I am curious how many 8 ga Parkers were built and in what grades. Anyone know?
Thanks
Jack

You can get a decent idea from The Parker Story .

Unfortunately I sold all my reference material, including the Parker Story. Also all guns went to consignment. 34 of 39 Parker’s sold. Variety of other interesting doubles have sold and some remain. Life circumstances dictated this rather drastic action. But I’m still green side of the grass, so that’s good. 😊

Chart from TPS attached. You'd need to go through the grades section by grade I believe to get a production estimate by grade.

Thanks Randy. A mere 389 built over a span of 40 years.

Here is a tally for 8g hammerless guns I did for an article.
