Rich: I got some information from Mark on mine. The letter states: "Parker shotgun, serial number213884 was completed September 10, 1925. According to Parker Bros. Stock Book No. 75 it was a DHE hammerless, 20 gauge. It featured Titanic Steel barrels with a length of 30 inches and 2 5/8 inch chambers. It's stock configuration was a straight grip. According to Parker Bros. Stock Book No. 75, it's specifications were: Length of Pull 15 3/8 inches; Drop at Comb, 1 1/8 inches; Drop at Heel 3 1/4 inches; weight 6 pounds and 8 ounces. The price listed on the January 1, 1925 price list for a DHE grade was $166.00."
All the measurements are as listed. In addition it has a chequered butt (no buttplate) and the initial plate is engraved: " S.D. McGraw N.Y. "
Best Regards, George
