The fact that the owner of Vintage Firearms is very thorough in his descriptions of the guns he sells doesn’t confirm he ever had factory records on a particular serial number. The information he provided in describing 188911 is relatively common knowledge to disciples of Parker Brothers guns and who have copies of The Parker Story and a couple of EDM’s books.

You can double check with Chuck Bishop but if our website says there are no surviving factory records upon which to base a research letter, you can bank on Chuck coming up with a big goose egg.

PS - It sounds like a wonderful Parker.

We have no records for this gun. Both the order book and stock book are missing for this gun's S/N. Griffin & Howe also doesn't have records for this gun.

Always nice if the records exist, but just as nice to enjoy a wonderful old Parker. So, now you need to buy another for which there are records...at least that's a great excuse, and one I've used with success on my wife before.

Welcome!
