That may be the fist number listed in Parkers Found in PP, but The Parker Story lists number 11631 as being the first gun fitted with the New latch. And the last to be fitted with the old Keyed forend was number 16222 as being the last. So there was a period of transition.

I am not sure what evidence that was based on in The Parker Story (11631 being THE FIRST). My guess might be the records might indicate it.

Regarding the stock on this gun, I tend to lean towards an altered original stock. But the guard still perplexes me a little bit.
