The PP article has serial numbers listed for early 28s. The article did not include all of my research, but it did include most of it.

Okay - Going on the premise that the error was created by the publisher I went and dug out my hard copy of Issue 2 of Vol 16 and looked at the table of contents and they are exactly as shown in the Digital Archive (which I thoroughly expected to be so) so the next step was to page through the entire magazine and I found the publisher had transposed the two articles and the "Early 28 Gauge Parkers" article was in fact published on page 47.

As Bill says, some of the very earliest 28 gauge serial numbers are listed in the article.

The Parker Pages Digital Archive is available to PGCA Members for $50 and back issues of Parker Pages are available from PGCA Life Member James Hall.

I wrote and published a very complete article beginning on pg. 25 in Parker Pages Fall, 2018 (Vol. 25, Issue 3) on this gun with loads of very high quality pictures.
