Can we get a reference for that Meacham order for 39 36" 16 gauges, and maybe a reference for the PP article that discusses #50,375?

Was the information on the Meacham order in a PGCA Letter, from the order book? Isn't that information the same as what was used in writing The Parker Story?

The gun was listed in the classified section of The PP in the last 2 issues. It is also listed in the found guns section.

It came with a very basic letter stating gauge, barrel length....etc. I found out about the large order of 36" 16 ga hammer guns through a conversation with the Parker researcher helping me on another issue. It is not listed in the serialization book but there are records on this gun in the order book.

The order book entries were not used in The Parker Story Grades section. TPS authors and helpers only scanned the order books for the guns listed in the appendix. The statistical information in the Grades section was accessed from the stock books.

As a novice parker owner what I learned in a short time is always request a letter. The serial number book is a great quick reference but there is a good chance that more information exists beyond that great reference!

Back to my 1st post on this topic......any other 16 ga 36" hammer guns out there still kicking around?

I am traveling now and will post pictures of mine next week.

Thanks!
