Interesting story Russ. I'll give you the short version of it. A friend of mine who owns a "black gun" store called me one day and told me a guy was standing there with a 20ga. Parker, they could'nt get it together and the triggers and safety were stuck. He put me on the phone with the gentleman and he gave me the serial #. At that time, the number did'nt mean anything to me except that it was 4 digits away from my other 20ga Parker, 235968. I was at work so I called our esteemed Dave Suponski and asked him to look it up. He came back on the phone with the good news of it's significance and said "Buy it! I met the guy the next day, sealed the deal and also bought a 16ga. mod12, which he had with this gun. I sold the mod12 to Dave S. for I knew he needed another 16ga, and just because he's a good guy. Everyone was happy. Some day I hope to gather all the info and write an article about it. It's an interesting story. Thanks for looking.
