I have always wondered about why it wouldn't be best to list an entire serial number. I always see people writing them like I did above and was just erring on the side of caution. Honestly, I don't know what it would matter if I posted an entire serial number for a shotgun that is over 100 years old.

The serial number is 150909 and has a "V" stamped below it. I don't see how credibility is in question, but I'm new to the site. If you wouldn't mind, please let me know how that factors in here. I realize that an exact serial number will probably help with factory specs. All I have been able to find so far is that it falls in the range of numbers of shotguns manufactured in 1909. If there is any additional information that anyone can provide now that I have posted the entire serial number....please feel free to share that information.

Welcome Mr. Barnett,

FYI, in order to be allowed to advertise a Parker for sale on this forum, you need to be a member of the PGCA, not just a Forum Member. If you have indeed joined the PGCA, then the web master will make the necessary changes and you will be able to access the For Sale section of this web site.

You are correct your gun was made in 1909. You indicated a "V" stamped below the S/N. This would indicate a VH grade (the H indicates hammerless. and a VHE would indicate it has ejectors.) If you go to the home page you will find more information and pictures of what your VH grade should look like. There is also a Research link and there is factory record information for your gun. Usually there is just basic information on lower grades such as the VH but you never know until researched.
