This gun would have been entered in a stock book that is now missing or the entry illegible. However, this particular gun has available research material for a PGCA letter, indicating that the order book with this gun entered is available to our researcher. The order book entry is much more interesting than the stock book entry, because it may mention the name of the original owner. The stock book only lists the specifications of the gun. Order a letter.

For being one hundred and one years old, your Great Great Grandfather's gun looks to be in amazing, unmolested original condition. Some quick mental math says each of you had a son at 25 years of age. I hope you have a son and pass it on. I seriously doubt there are many Parkers, in any condition, that have been cared for by 6 generations.
