I'd say the buttstock has been replaced and the vent rib might not be original, the rib matting doesn't look right. The White Line pad probably isn't original either.

Cameron, the ID & Ser. book shows your gun as a straight grip, 28" with ejectors, single trigger, large forend (BTFE) and vent rib as options. It now sports a pistol grip stock so it is pretty likely that it has been restocked at some point in it's life. Nonetheless, it is a rare (unique) and valuable Parker as, according to the table on page 402 of Vol. 1 of The Parker Story, it is very probably the only "known" 28-inch trap gun of any grade.
Lucky You !! You can find out more about your wonderful Parker by ordering a PGCA Research Letter at a cost of only $60 for non-members or $40 for members. You can click on the tab on our Home Page for a printable form requesting a letter. Mailing address is on the form. Don't let that gun out of your sight. |
