28 ga Repro Barrels

[Brad Boyer]

Hey I think you guys are all wet!! I think I must have a very rare and valuable Parker, the "F" stands for FINE!!!..........Brad

Hi Guys, The first batch of 28 ga guns that we ordered had that F on the lug. They came that way from Japan. I think the manufacturer misread an accounting code we used for computer codes. I do not know what the I means. That gun must have some nice wood on it. Hope that helps

[Autumn Daze]

Thank You Richard. That clears that up.

Thanks Richard, your insight is most appreciated!... Brad Boyer

I have a 28 marked exactly the same way.

Several of us had never seen them marked with the "F" on the rear lug before, now they seem to be as ubiquitous as all get out. Here's yet another:

I wonder, never having seen the gun, how the lug is stamped on 28 gauge Parker Reproduction S/N F-1051 ? If one of us owns that gun maybe he could answer the question?

What does the "F" prefix in the serial number signify?

Dean -- where have you seen or seen mentioned any Repro having an F as a prefix in the serial number?

I don't remember Greg, but I jotted it down when I saw it. Should have jotted down where I read it...
