20 gauge hammer guns are rare. Fluid steel barrel hammer guns are rare. Marked P Grade hammer guns are rare. What a nice gun. By the way, Edgar, I own the 16 gauge hammer gun you mention. It is number 172,662 as I recall. John, thanks for the pictures.

John,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful Parker with those of use who are less fortunate! :cool:

John, thank you very much for sharing. If you could get a closeup picture of the serial number on the frame water table next to the lightening cutouts and post it here, it may prove to give even more insight into your gun's origin. It appears as though the serial number was over stamped on top of some other numbers or characters. It looks like it could be a frame that Parker may have "repurposed" or renumbered to build your gun. Very cool gun!

All, Thanks for the complements. It belongs to a friend, not me (I wish)
Snapcap, Click on the photo you want to enlarge. Hold down CONTROL and roll your mouse wheel to enlarge the photo. After viewing it, hold CONRTOL and hit 0 (zero) to restore the default size.

Listed in the SB as a 20 gauge top action, so any restamp was done at the factory.

Thanks so much for posting the pictures of a very interesting gun. It's amazing how we continue to learn about new and interesting guns every week.
