Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Dean,
I have a gun ordered by W.R.Crosby who as you may know was a renowned professional shooter back in the day. It's a 20 VH with 30" barrels and no safety. Interesting note at the end of the research letter states " gun compliments of Parker Brothers".

I checked the serial number on the Research Letter and the PGCA has no information for a letter.
Bill is right on. Here is a box from 1931--
Arrow Express Lacquered 3-inch 20-gauge 1931 vintage.jpg
I have or have access to all the Remington ammo catalogs through that era and nothing heavier then the 2 3/4 dram equiv. pushing one ounce of shot was offered in20-gauge, but I guess if someone ordered enough of them Remington would load them!?!
Serial number 153333 would be a 1910 gun, well before the above box, when loads like these were the factory offerings in 3-inch 20-gauge --
