The confusion about P Grade .410s is caused by the lack of identification of specific guns. This confusion would be eliminated if the individual guns were identified by serial number or some other identifying feature. Mr. Gabriel makes an attempt to do this in his interesting book.

Returning this old thread to the top in the interest of Parker collecting.

Fine Parkers are still out there.

Do the two different numbers stamped on the flat relate to the Whitworth steel Tubes, and did they put a Serial # (or partial) anywhere on the flat? absolutely beautiful.....

The gun serial number would be on the side of the barrel lug and matches the SN shown in the photo of the trigger guard. The Jos. Whitworth barrels are individually numbered and stamped on the barrel flats.

By way of general comment, there is a list of about 70 known correct A-1 Specials. It is widely believed that there are more Parkers upgraded to look, more or less, like an A-1S than there are correct guns, although I can't say whether that is true or not. I don't know of any list compiled of upgraded guns, some of which are easy to determine, others not so.
