Parker serial number 126007
 

Any information on this is appreciated. Is it in “the book”?

When “the book” is mentioned, what book is that?

I thank you in advance.

Anyone?

I sure feel like a zombie on this site. (Just in time for Halloween!).

Anyone?

I hate to sound like sour grapes, but this forum is very unfriendly to outsiders. Few even click on any of my threads, let alone respond, and yet the “network” thrives, you all trip over each other to put a “like” on each other’s post, as it looks good to do so.

In 30 years, I sure hope a younger “network” still exists, but this community certainly is insular.

And here’s the factory letter. Chuck Bishop works very quickly & I’m impressed!

Appears to be in the same configuration.

Photographs in a few months when I have access to this shotgun.
