We at least know the 26" barrels match the Serialization Book. Great gun if the wood to metal fit is tight and the barrels are spotless on the inside and measure correctly. .665 to .667 with choke at the muzzle.

Hi Harold and Bill. Thanks so much for your replies. Very helpful. I will check the bbl choke diameters. I do know that all of the parts are matching serial #s. Do you know what the stock length should be so I can try to determine if it's been cut? And to Bill's comment about the tight fit between wood and metal - it's very tight and clean. The bores are also shiny and bright.

I do truly appreciate your help. I reached out to PGCA because in my review of the Parker section on Blue Book of Gun Values it was clear that valuing a Parker is not nearly as straight forward as valuing most firearms and estimating % condition. Thanks again.

Yup, in the Blue Book, your gun would be about 5% or zero% because case color is all the condition factor. Don't worry about that. A clean gun with no case color is still a good buy.
