Provenance of multi barrel sets in that serial number range usually involves close inspection by experienced Parker collectors more than factory documentation. I don't know how to explain what to look for, but I know it when I see it.

Tom: What is the LOP to the end of the wood. I'm sure that someone here has a spare skeleton butt plate laying around that could be expertly fitted to the stock. BTW you need to find that letter IMHO.
Best Regards, George |

Tom, being a trap gun, you may find the gun was ordered with a pad, so it really isn't detrimental to the value of the gun. The majority of trap guns were ordered with pads.
Send for a PGCA Research Letter to learn more about your Parker. The link for a letter is on our Home page. |

A chopped stock has a considerable effect on price, at least 3-4000$ and the gun will never be original even if you replace the stock with a good reproduction or other remediation. It is the kind of thing that makes a collector weep. Also remember what Bill Murphy said about the barrels. Please bargain hard for the gun as you will end up spending money to put the gun right and $ value is always what someone else is willing to pay you for it. Looks like a nice gun with great potential for shooting. Good luck!!! David
