I believe Dean is correct. The gun was most likely a late Twist barreled gun that was refitted with Vulcan barrels. Also if the gun was a factory fluid steel gun the rib inscription would read "Parker Steel" "Parker Special Steel" was reserved for G grade guns.

It is a book that contains a lot of basic information on most Parker shotguns and costs about $40.

Thanks, now someone will come on with what the Serialization book shows.

According to the book, serial # 203536 is a V grade, no extras, straight grip gun with 27" barrels in 12 gauge. If that is correct then a letter should be ordered to clarify the information. Jim

Yeah... maybe you actually have a V grade there.

RE: V grade...that seems troublesome as it is clearly stamped "PH". and the fore stock, trigger guard, barrel lug, and water table all have the same serial numbers. I guess the barrels could have been changed either using the old barrel lug or stamping the new one with the serial number, but for it to not be a "PH" would require a bit more explaining.

Does your PH have a straight stock?
