S designation on Parker Guns

[Jim Thynne]

Yes the gun has 32" barrels, and is still a clay smasher.
Thanks John, I still fiddle with the guns and have a C&R to help with purchases, as you know I buy every Lebeau Courally I can afford, and have a great interest in both Parker and Fox guns.
I still feel that the best guns since WW2 are #1 Fabbri and #2 Labeau Courally. The rest have to fight for #3. There are plenty of good guns out there, but I have always thought the used British sidelock guns were over priced, although I buy them when they are priced right.

The Serialization Book is wrong. The "S" stands for a SBT and Jim's gun is obviously not a SBT! Unfortunately the Stock Book is missing in this serial number range so I looked up those guns in the Serialization Book that had an "S" and were close in S/N to 176575, they were all SBT's. Also, 176575 is listed as having a P.G in the Order Book. Only the Stock Book would tell if it's a CPG and the stock book is missing.

Jim, if you misplaced the original research letter and want a replacement, just send me a PM and I'll get one out to you.
