Default Barrel lug

#180323 20 gaDHE has the numeral 1 on the barrel lug, is this an inspection mark or indication of more than one barrel? For end iron has no number other than serial number.

Thanks,

I may have wrong term, the lug I am referring to is where the for end attaches.

It may be an indicator of 'barrel set #1' but without the corresponding 1 stamp on the forend iron, I doubt it.

Thank you, thought that may be the case. The 30" ones I have are quite nice, I will be sending in request for letter soon. This gun is told to be one of consecutive numbered guns that were ordered for twin boys, the one I have belonged to the brother who was the State of Tennessee game warden during some volatile times in the Reelfoot Lake area.

Scott, 180323 is a TI3 twelve gauge with 30" barrels whereas 180322 and 180324 are VH twelve gauge guns with 30" barrels.

Sorry Scott... I was reading in the dark. Yes, 180323 is a twenty gauge and 180322 is also a twenty but is a V grade. 180324 is a twelve gauge.

In my opinion, 180323 is a very desirable Parker twenty with 30" barrels and a straight grip.... NICE!!
