All Parker significant Parker parts were numbered to the gun. Large parts (barrels, forearms, stocks, locks and hammers on hammer guns) were numbered with the complete serial number. Smaller parts, like your 162 part were numbered with the last two or three digits. The numbering was done to keep all the parts together as they moved through the manufacturing process. Also, to reunite parts as manufacturing steps were done in batches. Parker parts were all hand fitted after initial part production and thus, finished parts were not normally interchangeable.
