I think the book Brian is referring to is " The Parker Serialization and Identification Book " ,I tried to give you a link but can't get it to work ,just go to E-Bay and type the title into the search and you will find it ! Also the pair of Books every Parker Collector should have in his Library is " The Parker Story " !

I could not figure out posting pictures here but created an album as titled above with some pictures. Thanks to all who have responded and helped. I think I will be getting a membership and the registration letter soon, as I've been bitten by the Parker Bug, likely to the dismay of my newer shotguns!!

A very nice and unusual DHE.

Randy referred to a "capped PG stock". I've looked around but can't find that description. Can someone educate me about that.

[Dean Romig]

Normally referred to as a CPG or in the Serialization book you will see a CP entry as opposed to a S for straight grip or a P (pistol) referring to a ball grip or a "round knob" or semi pistol grip.

But you will never see POW in any Parker records because Parker never made such a grip, except possibly as a special order.

Gary, to be honest, the Serialization Book will only tell you what you already know. A PGCA letter may give you information on the original owner and other tidbits. Members of PGCA pay $40.00. Good luck.

So I have become a new member and the research letter will be in tomorrow's mail.

Busy absorbing the ton of info online in the forums now open to me as a member.

One more question for all the experts out there....what range of value should I consider this gun for insurance purposes. She is stored in a quality gun safe, but you never know!!

[B. Dudley]

Refer to the blue book of gun values for insurance value.

[Dean Romig]

There is nobody who can give you an estimate of value without first seeing your gun. Condition is most important whether original or restored.
