Bob, the only way to attempt to discover how or why that happened is to send for a PGCA Research Letter. But even the stock book and order book on that serial number may not answer that anomaly in serial numbers.

Thanks Dean for your response. Also, as I know next to nothing about Parkers, other than I want 10 more, are 26" barrels with a full choke unusual?. Thanks again

According to the Parker Gun ID & SN book:

171973 is a V-grade, 12 ga, capped pistol grip with 28" barrels.
172973 is the same except with 26" barrels.

My guess is they had their barrels switched somehow. Most likely after leaving PB.
