Where is number 170703? An interesting history

[Richard B. Hoover]

Majestic shotguns, ducks and Baseball greats. What a wonderful combination!!

Thanks for all that fabulous information.

George, I think that will work. However, I think you should request that our webmaster create a new subforum and also create a "sticky" at the top of the subforum to explain the search function that will help to locate particular serial numbers. Some discussion may be neccesary to name the new subforum.

George,
Why don't you start the ball rolling and list what you have as far as tags and letters. It would be interesting seeing what you have.

[George M. Purtill Member #28]

I will do that but I think I will start a new thread that others can post to and search for serial numbers.
The format will be: [serial number] spaces [description of item:hang tag, letter, barrels, etc]

this will create searchable data in our forum. all one will have to do will be to click on the search box on the tool bar and type in their serial number of a gun they are researching. the more people who post items that they have, the better the database.

I would certainly buy the work tags for any on my Parkers.

Dean,
You could also buy any tags for my guns and donate them to my firearms relief foundation for wayward straight grip 20 gauges. Just a thought.

The reason for my previous post is supported by this picture taken in I believe 1927 the "Murderers Row" years of the Yankees. This picture was taken at the same time the picture posted previously. I bought both of these copies from Dennis Wolfe a few Vintagers ago.

Dave,
Don't laugh but I recognize the "Babe" on the right. Who are the other two gents?

[Dean Romig]

I would venture to say that your picture Dave, and the group photo on the previous page with the "Babe" were both taken on the same day.... same car as the one on the left in the first picture... same clothes... look for other similarities.

[Autumn Daze]

Daryl, The gent on the left is Lou Gehrig.I don't know the fellow in the middle and we know the "Babe" on the right.

Dean, Please read ALL of my previous post......
