Some Ithacas from that era had the same style short forend.
I bet with some research you will find one of the big dog shooters of that time was shooting one.

According to Michael McIntosh Parker Invincible #230239 has a factory letter.
However search it on the site and no records are available.
I believe whoever was involved with the Invincibles,has access to the "Lost" record book for the guns in the 230xxx range.

That's no surprise, considering who has owned it over the years.

Not intending to start anything, "that book" has already been hashed to death as a subject, but has anyone outside of their family ever had unfettered access to it? Just curious and wondering if there is any chance an as yet unknown grade 9 is in that book?

There are already three known Grade 9 Parker Invincibles. Another Invincible is always a possibility I suppose - In fact, there have even been unfounded rumors of such, but seeing is believing...

Now, the possibility of the existence of a Grade 10.... Hmmm...

I'm pretty sure it was no more than speculation intended to start a furor among the ranks.

As far as I'm concerned, it's no more than a myth.

The guns built in that serial number range just before the stock market crash,were ordered in prosperous times. I bet there are many interesting guns in that book. Look at the small sampling of the guns we know in that range. The ones listed are fully optioned guns. My GHE is a two barrel set, each set with a vent rib and Beavertail.
