I got it for $900. It was on the bottom floor. I found it on Friday early. Once a had it in my hands I didn't put it back on the table. Someone had blue it but I removed it and will leave it like it is. The only thing I'll do is to have it checkered and barrels done. I saw a D hammer that someone used as a hammer to pound some nails in for $950. It's a 12 gauge with 30in damascus barrels bores are alittle rough. I'll probably order a letter but wasn't sure on how far back they will go.

Travis,
On the main page, click on Research Letters and at the top of that page there is a link for Serial Number Search that will ask for the serial number and tell you if there exists information for a letter. I entered your serial number (assuming I didn't transpose any digits) and it said there is information for a letter. |

Travis: It is possible that the stock & forearm your Grade 3 hammergun was never checkered to begin with. It could have been ordered without checkering. I hope that you ordered the letter. That might tell you. Congratulations on a SUPER BUY!
Best regards, George |

The finish on your D is very nice. What did you use to get the blue off? Did it have any negative effect, like etching of the surface? I have two blued Parkers that I would consider removing the blue from if they came out looking like yours. Thanks.

As for getting a letter I did get one and received it this week. I'm in the process of researching the past owners name. I believe that it had checkering on the wood and believe that it is a higher grade that a D comparing it to pictures in the Parker Story. As for removing the blue I used blue and rust remover, cleaned it and then lightly posished with fine greaseless slow moving buffing wheel and oiled. I still need to redo barrels. I will keep everyone in the loop as for what I find out on previous owner.

The four pin lock's are typical of D Grade and higher guns. Good luck on your quest for info on the original owner.

It looks like a nice high grade Parker. From the pictures it look like a $200 or $250 dollar grade? What gauge is it? It looks like there are records on it, did you get a letter?
