I think the book Brian is referring to is " The Parker Serialization and Identification Book " ,I tried to give you a link but can't get it to work ,just go to E-Bay and type the title into the search and you will find it ! Also the pair of Books every Parker Collector should have in his Library is " The Parker Story " !

Fellenz/Woods 12 gauge
 

I could not figure out posting pictures here but created an album as titled above with some pictures. Thanks to all who have responded and helped. I think I will be getting a membership and the registration letter soon, as I've been bitten by the Parker Bug, likely to the dismay of my newer shotguns!!

A very nice and unusual DHE.

Randy referred to a "capped PG stock". I've looked around but can't find that description. Can someone educate me about that.

Normally referred to as a CPG or in the Serialization book you will see a CP entry as opposed to a S for straight grip or a P (pistol) referring to a ball grip or a "round knob" or semi pistol grip.

But you will never see POW in any Parker records because Parker never made such a grip, except possibly as a special order.

Gary, to be honest, the Serialization Book will only tell you what you already know. A PGCA letter may give you information on the original owner and other tidbits. Members of PGCA pay $40.00. Good luck.

So I have become a new member and the research letter will be in tomorrow's mail.

Busy absorbing the ton of info online in the forums now open to me as a member.

One more question for all the experts out there....what range of value should I consider this gun for insurance purposes. She is stored in a quality gun safe, but you never know!!

Refer to the blue book of gun values for insurance value.

There is nobody who can give you an estimate of value without first seeing your gun. Condition is most important whether original or restored.
