Hi Jack - your 14 ga. Parker was probably made in the first couple of years of Parker gun production. The 14 gauge can probably be considered Rare. I'm not going to go open my TPS to find the data but I will say that not many were made. Pictures would be nice.
Here's one owned by our friend Daryl Middlebrook and restored by Doug Turnbull. It's a real beauty!! It's quite a bit later than yours and this one has what appear to be Laminated Steel barrels and is quite a nice piece! . |

Thanks so much for your post, Dean. I do have some pictures in an album, but can't figure out how to upload them to this thread!--guess I was in such a hurry to get answers I forgot to read the directions properly! Thanks again, Jack.

According to the Parker Story Vol II There were 161 11g a and 131 14g a made but I would suspect more than that since the first entry for 14g a is 4702, Yours is o968, mine is 1147 shown on page 233 of Vol I of the Parker story, so I would guess another 25 of each gauge? purely speculation of course, and the 14 ga is not an offering in these early catalogues.Nice find!
