Ser. no. 67309 is not in the PARKER GUN serialization book, but there is Parker factory research info. available for the gun.

Regarding Research letters from the PGCA (from this website):

$100 for non members (Forum Associates and non PGCA Members)
$40 for PGCA members
Mail completed form to:
PGCA Research Committee
c/o Chuck Bishop, Chairman
PO Box 126502
Harrisburg, PA 1711

Henry: A PGCA Research Letter is specific to your gun; it is not general info. Well-worth knowing more about YOUR gun, as it was originally built at the factory, and if applicable, if it was returned for alterations or other work.

Henry, I did not notice where you're located, but there may be a knowledgeable member or two close enough to look at the gun with you and perhaps take some measurements. You might try that. It would really help in establishing any market value. If you do become a member -- and I encourage you to do so -- you can check current "for sale" listings to help you make comparisons...and get your membership back on your first research letter(!)

I'm at work or would look in my serialization book for you Henry. That will give you a basic idea if the gun is as it left the factory. That book and membership are probably the two best small investments you can make. I know having both have saved me from making some expensive mistakes.

Your serial number 67309 is not in the Parker ID & Serialization book so we can't check the barrel length but a #1, normally seen on a 16, with a fishtail lever is really neat to me and it has a nice piece of wood and you don't see many P Grades. Nice example of an early Parker. Enjoy!
