Can you show us pictures of the 14 ga. gun?

That was me Is the 10 a Parker also ?

By the way Don welcome to your new home its a illness we all have. Is the .410 a Parker also ?

Thanks And I think the 410 is a Mississippi Valley Co.

Even though the link where you type in the S/N shows that there are surviving records, there are no records that I can find on this S/N. The Stock Books start at 1500 and even then, the info you get is not much. This gun is too early for either the Order or Stock books.

Early guns are very interesting even though you can not get a letter some times, they are very unusual in configuration sometimes with different bolsters, skeleton butts unusual stocks Serial # 258 is one of these unusual early guns, maybe the guys at Parker just got bored or were trying new designs? I posted photos of this gun a while back, Gary

258
 

Those photos are on page 11 6th post down, shows some of the unusual things Parker did Gary
