Parker Reproduction "Production Chart"

[Bob Jurewicz]

It would be nice if thru this thread we could also unravel the mystery of the "P Guns", those with serial numbers prefaced with the capital P. Maybe in addition to the information requested by Greg we could ask members who own such guns to contribute info on their characteristics.
I own P-00415 it is a 20 GA DT, PG/SPLT with 14 15/16" LOP and two (2) sets of 16 GA barrels all housed in an original Repro Leather 3 barrel case and cover.

I would like to see some owners of #0000 frame .410s to come forward with their serial numbers.

If what David Trevallion reported in his featured article "A Parker Repro Collection - A visual feast of rare smallbores" that appeared in the Jan/Feb 2021 issue of SSM is accurate, one collector (I think we all have a pretty good idea who that is) owns 11 of the reported 41 .410 Parker Repro smallbores ever made. If this one collector came forward with serial numbers of his 0000-frame .410 collection, it would go a long way in answering your request.

I would assume there are many DHE 00 frames with 28 and .410 barrels with the .410 barrels installed later. Maybe all such sets have .410 barrels installed later. My assumption is that many of the total 28 gauge production was before the first .410 barrel set was made. Only Mr. Skeuse could tell us how far along 28 gauge production was before .410 barrels started to become available. If we knew that number, we could at least guess whether a gun was an original 28-.410 set and which ones had retrofit .410 barrels.
