"Researching" a Parker
 
Is there a place where one can find out production history, etc. on a Parker, "letter" it so to speak? I just have the one - my little 16ga Trojan - but I wouldn't mind getting such a letter if they are available. Sorry if this has been asked and answered; I'm fairly new in town. Thanks...

letters on Parkers are available - go to the home page the link is on the left

the letter is $100 for non members - $40 for members - with the $40 membership you also get access to members only forums and a great publication called the Parker Pages

thats a pretty good deal when you want a letter

Hi Phil,

A PGCA research letter will list when the Parker was built, the original configuration, and usually to whom or what concern it was sold. For a Trojan it is highly likely that it was sold in a group of guns to a hardware store or other commercial concern.

PGCA research letters are $100 to non-PGCA members but only $40 to PGCA members. The best part is that annual membership to the PGCA costs only $40 and with membership you will receive the quarterly published Parker Pages!

Mark
