Ed, give us the serial # and we can check the book

I believe Dean is correct. The gun was most likely a late Twist barreled gun that was refitted with Vulcan barrels. Also if the gun was a factory fluid steel gun the rib inscription would read "Parker Steel" "Parker Special Steel" was reserved for G grade guns.

Sure...and thanks. Serial #: 203536.

It is a book that contains a lot of basic information on most Parker shotguns and costs about $40.

Thanks, now someone will come on with what the Serialization book shows.

According to the book, serial # 203536 is a V grade, no extras, straight grip gun with 27" barrels in 12 gauge. If that is correct then a letter should be ordered to clarify the information. Jim

Okay, Now it's time for some pictures.

I'll get the pics, but what exactly do you want to see?

Yeah... maybe you actually have a V grade there.

RE: V grade...that seems troublesome as it is clearly stamped "PH". and the fore stock, trigger guard, barrel lug, and water table all have the same serial numbers. I guess the barrels could have been changed either using the old barrel lug or stamping the new one with the serial number, but for it to not be a "PH" would require a bit more explaining.

Does your PH have a straight stock?
