Order a letter if one is available. That should provide good information.

The serial number search indicates there is information available, so I'm working through the on-line letter request. Any comments on condition and approximate value would be appreciated also.

That rib serial number is usually just the last three digits and is stamped into the underside of the rib between the second and third posts. You’ll need a thin inspection mirror to find it.

Welcome to the forum!
Positives-It does appear to be a proper vent rib Parker. Vent rib guns come to market fairly often. The Guyette & Deeter auction coming up has at least 4 that come to mind, maybe more than 4. So they aren't rare but they are uncommon. Gun appears to be in good condition. Negatives from my perspective. The dolls head doesn't fit properly. The barrels have probably been adjusted causing that issue. Doesn't affect how the gun shoots, just an indication of some past adjusting. A letter might mention that the gun was ordered with a recoil pad. Stock dimensions would also impact value to most buyers, as would barrel length and condition of the barrels (bore condition, wall thickness etc). Nice Parker that should be a pleasure to shoot!

What kind of "barrel adjustment" can cause the outrageous gaps in the extension rib. The only adjustment I can think of is an adjustment with a file, or a barrel replacement. Where is the picture of the left side of the barrel lug? I would want to see the serial number on the lug. A vent rib Parker that is not configured as a target gun is an interesting variation. Tapered rib is neat. Wood is nice, original finishes in wood and metal are gone.
