Why don't you want the serial number known?


I've always been open about posting the serial numbers of my guns, many of them high grade and valuable guns. I don't figure any of them are stolen, nor do I think that the government has hired web site monitors to write down the serial numbers of old shotguns so that when guns are prohibited, the gun police will come in the middle of the night and demand all my guns by serial number.

Parker shotguns are listed in a Serialization Book or in the Order Books by serial number, so naturally when a person comes here and wants to know characteristics of a gun, some people try to help him by looking up the serial number in the books. All parts of a Parker are stamped with the serial number.

Mr. George Lander is a true southern gentleman and was trying to be helpful since you had come here to the Parker collector's website looking for information about a specific gun.
