First Parker Shotgun

[Bill Murphy]

The "zero" barrel flat marking should be no mystery since these were the first black barrel guns in low grades and the official marking had not been determined. We haven't seen the rib marking yet, but the early ones I have seen were marked Vulcan. Someone soon determined that the barrel flat marking would be "V".

I will get you a photo of the barrel rib when I receive it, I am just glad that my first Parker is such a interesting one

Beautiful first Parker! Welcome to Parker Universe. I hope you shoot the heck out of that gun.
