Grade is different on barrel than the stock with same serial number

[Randy Roberts]

You should definitely get a letter Rich. I like that trigger plate a lot.

I have recorded quite a few guns with a one-, two- or three-digit number on the left barrel flat where your gun has the 7.

56213 11 153 Annotated.jpg

142699 04 V in circle, W.K. in oval, 57 annotated.jpg

149899 02 J.G. in oval, 16 annotated.jpg

156491 04 V in circle barrel steel, J.G. in oval and &, 13 annotated.jpg

Very likely no one left alive knows the meaning of these numbers.

Magnificent gun, sir!

In your other post I suggested you write an article for Parker Pages.
You, the PGCA, this gun, and all the members here, would be honored by that!

Unfortunately to late a S/N for the Order Books. Stock Book info is available.

What a wonderful gun!

Here is a close up of my parker 12 gauge.

I am not sure what you mean by to late S/N?

That means the gun was made late enough in the records history that it falls into the serial number range where we do not have the Order Books. The Stock Book will tell of the data that was recorded when the gun was made, but nothing of who ordered the gun, when it was ordered or where it was shipped.
