Buying Question

I am looking at the 1937 Parker Catalog You can clearly see the serial numbers on the guns. So I thought why not check it aganist the Serialization book. The A1 Special is serial number 171341 in the catalog it has a capped pistol grip. In the serialization book it is listed as a straight stock. Has this gun shown up anywhere? The AAHE #214709 is correct to the book. The AHE 197081 (16 Gauge) is correct to the book. BHE 191866 is not in the book. The CHE# 196318 in the catalog is listed as an AHE Grade 20 bore with 32 inch barrels!
No other serial numbers are shown.

Twoatlow8, you are wrong about the C Grade. It is listed in the book as a C Grade, clear as glass. As far as the straight grip listing for the A-1, any number of situations can exist that would cause the book to disagree with the catalog picture. It only costs $40.00 to get to first base. Of course, this has little to do with the fact that a 1923 GHE was not originally built as a skeet gun.
