Parker OV Grade???
Greetings from Southwestern Virginia. I'm new to the Forum and have always admired Parkers from afar. Recently I decided to buy my first Parker and have located a 12ga. Trojan (serial# 194XXX) that has caught my eye. Above the serial number on the watertable are the letters "OV" It is also stamped on the flats of the barrel. Is this a grade? Also the letters JG in a circle are stamped on the flats. The number 14 is stamped on the barrel as well....could this be the barrel weight? There is also a HT over an A stamped on the barrel flats.
Any help in deciphering all these numbers and letters would be appreciated! Oh.....one more oddity. The double triggers appear to have been gold plated at one time, but time and handling has erased some of it.....sounds like they were replaced at some time, doesn't it?!
In any case, its a pretty Parker!....but, aren't they all??!
