Default Info on 10 Ga.

I just acquired a 10 ga. Parker and was wondering how much a Letter would reveal about the gun. Serial #75857, thanks for any help.

I can think of only one way to find out what a letter would reveal, but it will cost you forty bucks.

A zero grade gun, probably not much that you can't see with the gun in your hands. However, you may identify the dealer or wholesaler who ordered the gun. Unlikely to identify the first retail customer.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering. I don't have an issue sending for a letter as long as I would get more info than by looking at the gun.

The letter will tell you what it looked like when it left the factory vs. what it looks like now.
