Serialization Book

[Fritz Dornan]

Thanks Mark.....Looks like it is not a big deal or unusual that a gun did not make it to the "book". I would agree records are a big part of why Parkers are so collectable.

Fritz, the whole situation about availability of serial number information is explained on page 58 and forward in the Serialization Book. Page 58 begins the "Inventory of Stock Books", which are available for research and which are missing, by serial number. Charlie Price has a stash of information that adds a few numbers to the list of available numbers, so some numbers appear that are not actually included in the Stock Book Inventory. The authors also searched the "Order Books" for additional numbers, such numbers by example are shown in the Appendeces of The Parker Story. Since our researchers have full use of the "Order Books" as well as the "Stock Books", numbers that are missing from the Serialization Book are still quite likely to be available to the PGCA Researcher. In other words, the SB is only one of several research vehicles available to collectors.
