Yes, 3967 is among the 11 gauge Parkers in the list I received from Austin a few years ago.
Charlie Price, Richard Hoover, Austin Hogan and one or two others had been compiling data on 11 gauge Parkers for some years.

This is the list I received from Austin.

Mills,

I wrote about this in my DGJ articles in Winter 2008 and Spring 2009. Was there something more recently. If so, I want to see the article.

Thanks,

Richard

Dean,

Thanks for posting this list. It appears to be based only on the Stock Books. There are others that are not in the Stock Books as well as 11-gauge Parker's that are listed in the Serialization as either 10-ga or 12-ga Parker. This can not be entirely explained based on the chambering since some of these guns (such as 3561) were clearly chambered for 11 paper shells. Chuck also just confirmed my suspicion that the last entry in this list is also in error. The stock book entry for gun lists it as a 16-gauge, not an 11 - the 16 was simply mistakenly read as "11".

There are a couple of oddities to that last serial number. What sort of action is indicated by the "A"?

Richard B. Hoover 03-22-2014 10:14 PM

Parker 46740?????

Has anyone in PGCA ever seen this gun?

What does the "A" mean??

What does the Fox say???

Dean,

In your Album you have several photos of a beautiful Grade 2 Lifter in 11-gauge in an Original Parker case. Could you send me the Serial Number of that puppy? Also, I have not yet received the latest Issue of Parker Pages and the Member List. Would appreciate it if you could send them when you get a chance. I need some phone numbers.

By the way, I was delighted that I just got my Research Letter from Chuck on my beautiful new 11-Ga #4005. My Thanks go out to Chuck for doing this so quickly and to Charlie for making it possible for me to get this great gun.
I will shoot some photos this weekend and post them and some info on this Parker soon.

Richard,

I think you're referring to John Hansen's Parker - a gun you have made reference to in the past.
In case you can't read it, the serial number is B2505

I'll check with Mary about your "new member package".

Best, Dean

Dean,

Sorry. I got excited because it indicated it was an 11-ga lifter. Of course B-2505 is a 12-ga with 30" barrels. It is cased and chambered for Parker 11-B shells. I have never seen an 11-ga in an original case with shells. Do you know if anyone has one or has ever heard of one still in existence? If anyone has one, A post of the gun and shell headstamp would be fantastic.
