Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

There are many stamps on Parker barrels the meaning of which there is no record or definition… the E may be one of those.

The stock book is available for this serial number. The examination of the stock book, and order book if available, with a letter request may show the original grade. I've got a 0 grade 10 gauge (1897?) top lever with laminated barrels that is on the Parkers Found list. A long ago letter request included the production info, but IIRC the price it was sold for also put it in the 0 grade of price list at the time.
