I forgot to give the guns original configuration, 50377 was recorded as a 16ga with 36" barrels. The gun was part of a large order by E.C. Meacham Arms Co. The gun was part of 39 guns, all 16ga 36" with plain twist barrels. After these 39 guns, the order continued with more 16ga, 36" guns but with Damascus barrels, then 16 ga guns with 32" barrels. Everything on that order was 16 ga guns I have one of its brothers as well, 50375 in the original configuration 16 gauge 36" twist barrel you have seen in one of my older posts.
Thank you Mr. Bishop for this detailed information. Buy your letters Parker fans, there is a lot of interesting info out there.
