I own a 3rd generation family Grade 7 Parker that lists 2 extra features originally.
With ejectors and SST-that is two according to Parker Bros.
The AAHE was returned to Ilion in 1936 for service.
There is a "22" above the lug-left flat that by the repair codes indicates "ventilated rib".
Was the rib added or were barrels and rib made as a new set? The rib is marked
"Peerless Steel" with Meriden, CT stamping. Peerless was the later grade
steel used on the higher grades by Parker and probably Remington/Parker.
An extra stock & BT forend were either added later or..original.
No code found for large forend. Questions....
