Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

1875 "Stub Twist" 12 ga.
This is my first post on the Parker Gun forum.
This post is about a 12 ga. Parker hammer gun with front action locks. It has a wedge to secure the forend. The top of the barrel is marked "Parker Bros'' Makers Stub Twist" next to the lifter it is marked "Pat. Nov. 13 1866" in two lines.
The serial number is T4371. What does the letter "T" stand for?
On the water table, above the serial number, is a code which looks like "E.9R" Any idea what this stands for?
My final question is about purchasing a letter. What sort of information would be provided about the above gun?

According to the serialization book Parker SN 4371 was made in 1875 & is 12 gauge, underlifter action, no extras with 32 inch Twist Steel barrels. The markings "E (or F).9.R" it says "are found on early Parkers and are not understood, but probably inspection marks".
Best Regards, George
