The 14 on the right barrel flat is the superscript of the weight stamp; 2 lbs 14oz.
The 15 on the left barrel flat is an inspection mark.

Thanks Edgar, I missed that... Odd than the OP posted those without anything to support it other than a previous picture...

But then he's looking for information and I didn't take that into account.

Kenny, I don't blame you for not wanting to part with that gun. If you do get a letter on it, I hope you'll consider sharing it with us. Again, that's a unique Parker.

Good shooting!

No better gun for the great woodcock and grouse New Brunswick has to offer.

I have the same gun in a D grade , same round knob, checkered butt , ejectors . It is a rare gun and makes a great woods grouse gun. This is definitely a special order and a research letter would be illuminating. Mine was a Christmas gift to a young woman in South Carolina then went with her to Halifax NS when she married . I bought it out of Canada.

This gun would be in demand.
