Have any of you guys got your Parker Lettered?

[Armond Fish]

I am going to get my Parker Lettered and had a quick question.Does it say on the letter the name of the first person who bought the Parker?

[C.O.B.]

Sometime it will but most likely it will tell you when and where it was shipped.

Order book entries usually tell about the original purchaser. Stock book entries do not. The last useful order book available to our researcher is dated 1919. Very few guns after 1919 can be provenanced by original owner.

Armond, only four of my Parkers letter to an individual rather than a hardware or sporting goods store. Generally speaking only the higher grades will have records that identify the person for or by whom the Parker was purchased.

Good luck with your letter, hope it reveals something interesting. I see your location is NH. Are you interested in joining us for a New Year's Day Parker shoot in Barrington?

I would love to but this year I have to work. I am going to put in to have it off for 2012 so I can go next year. I work at a County Jail and I am the one that feeds the inmates. So I will see you there in 2012.

Great we look forward to seeing you in 2012! You might even have more than one Parker by then... This Parker thing is catchy....

I don't think I will have more than one Parker by next year. I am done getting guns for the next couple of years.My wife broke the bank when she got me this one.I am very happy and feel blessed just to have this special shotgun.

Wow! My 1877 $50.00 '0' Grade Lifter lettered to the original purchaser. Apparently, that is uncommon for the lowest grades. I am fortunate. It would be interesting to find out a little bit about the buyer. Cheers!
