[Mills]

Trying to help a friend and I don't have my "book" with me . . .

Looking at two guns

128086 which is a 16 gauge

83769 which is a 12 gauge

Thanks in advance

Hello Mills,

128086 which is a 16 gauge -- V H 0 C 16 30 = VH 16ga, 30" barrels, capped grip, no extras

83769 which is a 12 gauge --- not in the book

[Mills]

Thanks Matt!

For 83769

This is not going to be an immediate result, but the PGCA Serial Number Database indicates that there are surviving Parker Factory records for your gun.

Thanks and I saw that too. The guy says that gun has fluid steel barrels, so it was obviously rebarrelled at some point.
