You should definitely get a letter Rich. I like that trigger plate a lot.

I have recorded quite a few guns with a one-, two- or three-digit number on the left barrel flat where your gun has the 7.

Very likely no one left alive knows the meaning of these numbers.

Magnificent gun, sir!

In your other post I suggested you write an article for Parker Pages.
You, the PGCA, this gun, and all the members here, would be honored by that!

Unfortunately to late a S/N for the Order Books. Stock Book info is available.

What a wonderful gun!

Here is a close up of my parker 12 gauge.

I am not sure what you mean by to late S/N?

That means the gun was made late enough in the records history that it falls into the serial number range where we do not have the Order Books. The Stock Book will tell of the data that was recorded when the gun was made, but nothing of who ordered the gun, when it was ordered or where it was shipped.

Holy Cow!!!! What a gun!!

Was digging around the attic and found this old thing. I wish.
