I will try to dig out the serial numbers of the five. I thought they were in this thread but they are not. The outing of this gun happened many years ago when the original (I think) owner wrote to Remington inquiring about the history of the gun. Dick Baldwin replied to him with a very vague reply. Years ago, Dick gave me his file of letters about Parkers sent by many owners over the years. Dick was the unofficial Parker historian at Remington when he was employed there. I met Frank Halsey at a Vintagers event years ago. He shared a dinner with Linda and me and we discussed Parker trap guns. We were competitive bidders when the 34" 20 SC came to auction some time later. I shared my Dick Baldwin information with Frank when I found out he had outbid me. Frank used our shared information to write a story in the Parker Pages. On Frank's death, the gun came to auction again, and, this time I bid successfully.
