PARKER SAA GRADE - JUST HOW RARE?

[Sandy Brygider]

I have a nice Parker Single Barrel Trap 12 Ga with 32 inch full choke VR barrel and on the water table is SAA which I assume is the grade. Blue book says only one was manufactured in this grade and if this is it I assume it is quite rare. The serial number is 220773. Any info, help, or assistance is appreciated. I am quite comfortable with the side x side Parkers but this one stumps me. Is it the missing gun? Or were there more than one SAA grade guns made?

The ser# you posted isn't in the Serialization book or in the PGCA records.

I am under the impression that the "one" SAA is not lost and the owner is known.

Could you please post some pictures?

Yes, high quality pictures please.... now that you have our interest.

Looks like an SC, I don't know who added the two A's?

[Sandy Brygider]

On an sc are they marked with an S, a C, or an SC, or something else? Putting a loop to the letter grade shows the S may be overstamped of another letter/number, but the AA do not look like overstamps, and the case color on the water table is definitely original and if overstamped I would think it would be more evident.
However, I am not the expert on Single Barrel Parker Trap guns. Do the original records show this as a different grade or is it just not in the records, by serial number?

Take a look at the Parker Grades page on our site, those pictures should help you ID it.
