Robert, we have no records for this gun. Always go to the PGCA home page, click on "Research Letters", click on the red "Here" link and type in your S/N with no comas before sending away for a Research Letter. It will tell you if a letter can be written.

Dean, the gun you mention does not have the markings I asked about.

Dean, I asked if anyone had a Parker with just "SKEET" for a choke stamping. You replied that you have a 28 gauge with NO choke markings. I am still waiting to hear if anyone has an original Parker with just "SKEET" as a choke marking.

Picked up this numbers matching LC Smith 12 gauge with 30” barrels the same day I acquired my Parker 12 on 1/2 frame. Both came from the same gentleman’s collection, though I don’t have his name yet. Working on tracking that down, especially since he was the original owner and had ordered the Parker himself.
I don’t know much about this LC Smith yet, but it seems very similar in feel and build. If anyone has insight into this model or knows more about the original owner, I’d appreciate it.

Your Parker DHE had a retail price of $195 plus $19 for the beavertail forearm in 1940, while a Field Grade L.C. Smith was a $49 gun at that time though I suspect yours is considerably older. I'm far from an L.C. Smith expert but I doubt that beavertail forearm wood was original to the gun.

We all have to admit "That is some beavertail".
