Both Serial Numbers show the same info in the book.
Grade: D2 = Grade 2 with Damascus barrels Action: Underlifter Extras: 0 Stock: Pistol Grip (not capped) Gauge: 10 Barrel Length: 30 inches It appears the struck out SN is only on the fore end iron. Subject to guessing what might be behind that - an earlier order for a two barrel set that was cancelled for single barrel set so the already stamped fore end iron was restamped for this gun?????? Other thoughts? Bolsters are engraved but not sculptured The pictures are nicely done and appear to represent a gun matching the information in the ID&Serialization book. The gun looks like it needs a lot of TLC and smith attention prior to putting back into service (if the barrels are okay) There are rust issues The stock head appears very dark possibly indicating a lot of oil in the wood The barrels appear to be off face The Dogs Head Butt Plate is worn very smooth, indicating a lot of use - I LIKE THAT - Maybe your friend could tell us a few hunting tales associated with this gun. Cheers, Jack

it is a 10 gauge
visited with Bud today. I have known him since 1979 and during that time the shotgun wa a wall hanger. He told me today that the shotgun was bought from a fellow officer while he was on the LAPD and has been a wall hanger ever since,roughly 60 years. He doesnt remember being told any history on the shotgun so I guess it cant tell us a lot about itself which is sad. Other than the fact he always thought it was a Remington until the last four months when we inspected it closer and discovered it was a PARKER !! The question he now has is what would the value of it be ? any suggestions ? Thanks in advance for any input.

That beauty looks like it has had a L O T of shells put through it. Can't even imagine how many. And of how many birds it has brought home for the table... or market whichever it may be. Looks like the locking lug was welded up and maybe the breech end of the barrels and the breech balls peened to try to close up the "off face" gap. Someone also used a chisel to remove metal and pry the lower tang assembly from the bottom of the receiver instead of tapping it out from above. I truly wish these old guns could tell us of their travels and hunting adventures. I can just see someone doing whatever necessary to keep this thing shooting. The butt plate wear is most impressive. And some in this group think they do a lot of shooting.... Ha! Whew...
