Many members of the Parker Brain Trust are on the road returning from having attended the annual Parker Gun Collectors Association Hall of Fame dinner and Southern Side-by-Side.
So, as best as I can offer for the first gun ser. no. 196846
First photo: OV on barrel flats signifies a Trojan.
Second photo: if is J.B. in an oval, and not J. G. , it is “not fully understood”, according to THE PARKER STORY (TPS) on page. 590. And if it is the initials J. G. it may also be "not fully understood".)
The smallish number 1 in the center is according to TPS “not fully understood”.
The 12 on the barrel lug is the gauge, and the 2 is the frame size.
The 4 is the unstruck barrel weight, the OV stands for Trojan and the HT over A, according to TPS on page 590, is “not fully understood”.
