The gun has a replacement pistol grip. The serial number book shows the grade as 'S' making me wonder if anything that changes the standard configuration of the gun would be marked "S". Thus the special engraving
Yes I did have a letter on the gun, but when I moved the letter evidently did not. It stated the engraving on the rib was exactly as I quoted.
I used the gun last year to win the Trap handicap at the California Side by Side event. Great shooting Parker.
Also the serial number book shows the gun with a straight stock, and the correct stock is a capped pistol grip, and the original trigger guard is on the gun. Unless it was later returned to Parker for re-stocking. I believe that the letter stated capped pistol grip.
This gun was a gift from a Parker collector that knew I would love it, so it remains one of the few not for sale.
I was looking at the list of Parker's We sold the 10 years we were in business, and we sold 382 Parker's from Trojan to A1 special.
We had a great 10 years!................Jim Thynne ....Ivory Beads
