well - i think the model 21 was first sold in 1931, so many of the Parkers made during the rush of shotshell development predate it
i agree with Dean that guns were used as testing platforms
off the Parker topic- but in line with this sub tangent -
My Super Fox was one of the early ones - it was shipped to VL&D where a Mr. L. A. Miller ( i have been unable to find any data on him-would love to know why he had a new type of gun for it's first season) picked it up within a couple days of its arrival in October
and then Mr Miller returned the gun to the store at the end of season from where it was sent 2 1/2 blocks down the street to Winchester -
Unfortunately the Winchester records in the Cody Museum do not include the NYC store's data.
