AM I UNDERSTANDING YOU GUYS RIGHT THAT I BASICALLY HAVE A PARKER BRO'S GUN WITH A LOW SERIAL NUMBER THAT REALLY ISN'Y WORTH MUCH AT ALL, OR DO I NEED TO PURSUE DIFFERENT AVENUES. IS THERE ANY PLACE THAT I CAN RESEARCH THE HISTORY OF THIS GUN?

[Autumn Daze]

Jonny,Yes you have a very low serial numbered back action Parker shotgun.We do not have any records for guns with serial numbers as low as your gun.Sorry to say in my opinion the condition of the gun is such that there is no collector value left in the gun. Parts are not readily available and taking parts from another gun and using them on yours would result in a cobbled together gun further diminishing the value.

As far as further referrence on back action Parker guns there are books out by Ed Muderlak,Larry Baer and Peter Johnson that will give an overview but not much detail.The best books in print are a two volumne set called "The Parker Story" by Price,Mullins,Gunther,Cote and Parker but are a bit pricey for the casual observer at about $300.00 US

I hope we have been of assistance...
