Pics of engraving Parker 236,200 GHE 16

[Ralph English]

Several years ago I started keeping records of all "Transition" Parkers (Parkers with NO Parker or Parker Brothers engraved on the guns frame) that I came across.

I added two new Parkers to that list because of this "thread" (sn 236200 & sn 235908).

The list now numbers 35.

The earliest serial number on that list is sn 234987. This gun is a Trojan 12 ga.
Sn 234987 is an abnormally in that the next lowest serial number is sn 235908 the GHE ? ga, that Dean posted on this thread . The last serial number that I have found is sn 236563.

The list of 35 includes only two Trogans. It then runs through V, G, D and C grades. The lone C grade is a CHE 12 ga two barrel set with 2 beavertails, SST
and English grip.

The gages include 12, 16, 20, 28 and 410.

There are 8 ,410 ga on the list.

Parker Trojan #234987--only Parker Bros/Trojan Steel on the rib. Parker made the gun circa 1930 but it did not ship until July 2, 1934--destination and recipient unknown.
