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..

Came across this Parker during an estate appraisal. G Grade, 10 Gauge? Looks to be a #3 Frame. Barrels measure 32", dark bore. Tight quarters was hard to get any decent detail images. I will send off for a letter Monday. Thanks In Advance

The number on the barrel flat does not match the number on the water table, replacement barrels set? Is there another number on the barrel set that matches that on the frame? That dent/hole is a shame on that old thunder stick.
I believe those numbers are the order number for these early shotguns, perhaps the other numbers I am unsure of. It sure seems like these barrels have been on this shotgun for a long time, I need to probably get another good look at the barrel. Is there a location for the antique ones I should be looking for?

That number stamped on the right barrel flat most definitely is the order number, Not the serial number.

The serial number on Parker barrels is stamped on the left side of the barrel lug, close to the bottom of the left barrel. Yup, the other number is the order number.
