Sorry, not in the book. It falls right in the middle of a bunch of Damascus 3-grade stuff almost all 30" 12's (if that matters).

Thanks dave,
It is a 2 grade 30" Damascus 12.
What is this information book you use?

Mike

That's a really nice looking GH Mike. I have handled a couple of G's in the last couple of years like yours and I've been impressed with the condition of them. On the other hand, there are some really abused Parkers out there too... makes us appreciate guns like yours all tha more. There's one just like yours at Cabela's in Scarborough ME also in very nice condition. I mentioned this gun last week and I hope somebody jumps on that one - not mine or anybody I know, just a doggone nice parker.

Thanks Dave & Dean.
When I get the Parker letter, what is the normal
information I can expect to gather from it?

Dean Romig · 03-14-2010, 05:32 PM

On a gun in that serial number range you should get quite a lot of information. The name of the person who ordered the gun may not be more than the name of the hardware store that bought a bunch of Parkers for stock, names of individuals ordering a Parker usually show up in D grade and higher.

When it was built, where it was shipped, patterning data, configuration spec.s, etc. If you're really lucky it might have been custom order by someone and you're letter will tell you a little about that too. Sometimes you'll get some really cool surprises, let us know what you learn.

That would be awsome.
I will indeed let you all know what is in the letter.

Thanks again guys,
