In the sixties and seventies, such guns were very common. As for real Parkers being represented as Belgian knockoffs, not so much.

Does anyone have the new "Second Edition" of the Identification & Serialization book? My copy only goes up to # 241788, notwithstanding the Remington 'last number' of 242487!

I didn’t know there were two editions. Both of mine end at 241622

This one is a pre-publication of the color, glossy paperback edition of the Parker Gun Identification and Serialization book.

Nothing is legit about that, or the sellers statements.

Faux Damascus was common at the turn-of-the-century, but NO American doublegun maker used it

Found this in my files so the gun has been around for awhile



At least this guy managed to spell 'VULCAN'

The sad part is the gun has been sold......in about two days.
