Parker shotgun serial number 1447**, was ordered by T. B. Davis Arms Company in Portland, ME on April 3, 1908 and shipped on July 17, 1908. According to Parker Bros. Order Book No. 77 it was a VH hammerless, 16-gauge. It featured Vulcan steel barrels with a length of 26 inches. Its stock configuration was a capped pistol grip. According To Parker Bros. Stock Book No. 51, its specifications were: Length of pull: 14 ¼”, Drop At heel: 2 ¾”, Weight: 5 pounds and 13 ounces. The price was $50.00.
