Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Brian’s right. The 4-pin lock plates indicate it is very likely to be a predecessor to the Grade-3 or later, the D grade.

First year production
So, you know you have a first year of production Parker. The Parker Gun Identification & Serialization book lists it on page 66 as a 0 (Zero) grade gun, but obviously with the engraving it has it is a higher grade, as was suggested earlier. The information for this gun does say it was made with 32" barrels and that it is a 12 gauge. If you want some of the issues fixed with this gun, the most obvious choice is the person that chimed in talking about its beauty, Brian Dudley. There are very few people in the US that can do it justice. I would NOT trust others with its care. Good luck and keep us posted; seriously.
