Yup, leave 'em right where they are.

Yes I will! And perhaps the gun does approach unique with that addition, we will request a letter.

Dave, is there reference to the factory swivels in the Parker Story books?

Keavin,
Attached are two photos of a D grade 20 gage with factory installed swing swivels. The swivels are documented in the records and appear on the PGCA research letter for this gun. Larry

Very unique, I mean interesting... I hope you'll post the letter when it arrives. It appears you have hit a home run with your first D.

Larry, thanks for posting those pictures. Certainly interesting to know Parker did that.

Default Letter received on the "D"

Received the research letter, confirming the gun is all original. It did not confirm the sling swivels, but they certainly look like those on other guns that were. Interestingly, at a LOP of 13 1/8", you would think it was a custom order gun? We have a Galco slip on leather to extend it a bit. But overall, quite pleased!

The order book is missing, that would be where it would list the swivels if requested. I've never seen it mentioned in the stock books.

Well as an update, we finally had it out for a round of clays, and much to my pleasure I shot one of my best rounds ever! Definitely going to be a keeper!

Keavin, did you shoot at Lehigh Valley? I have relatives that live just north of Hellertown.
