Ok. Now I’m home and not sure how this impacts the total picture. Serial numbers are different. How does one replace barrels with a similar number?????? The work of Parker Jihadists?? EDIT: not different, but different typeface

They may have changed barrels, could have been pitted or maybe Damascus or someone may have just found a set of barrels more like they wanted to shoot. Sounds like the work may have been done 30 years ago when parts were more available and more people were available to do the work. We all wish we had bought more back then but diapers and groceries were more of a priority when the family was young. Nice looking gun with some good work done on it. If the price is right, enjoy it. I think we have the making of a new column in Parker Pages, "Adventures of Andy", looking for your next Parker. I enjoy your spirit and seeing you put up with us on this site but the wisdom you gain is worth the pain. Ha!

Thank you Alfred! I enjoy "the hunt" as they say. So in this case, with the proper serial number, would that mean it was likely a factory barrel replacement? This is what confuses me. I imagine some gnarly dude in a dimly lit basement with a light bulb and dripping water forging fake Parker barrels for idiots like me... I'll order the research letter

Check the back side of your extractor. That will be numbered to match the gun as well. If not with the whole number, at least with the last 3-4 digits of the numbers.

Every once in a while we have to have egg on our face and admit we don't know what we don't know. Dave (Researcher) just cleared this up for me. This appears to be a later gun where there are two different type faces used. MY idiotic assumption (never ASSUME) was that the differing typefaces meant for sure it was a fake/forged/replacement/non original set of barrels. I'll look behind the extractors per Brian. I am going to leave everyone alone for a while now on this matter and go shoot her.

Yup, the barrel font is correct for that serial number range. Dave beat me to it.

Anyone who thinks membership is too expensive for this group is an idiot. Just saying.

Most people that go to the trouble and expense of having a non original set of barrels fitted, also have the barrels re-stamped to match the gun. by 'non-original, I mean Genuine Parker barrels. Some think it's misleading, or unethical. I don't, and feel its appropriate the barrels be marked to the gun the are meant to fit, whether Parker Brothers or not.
With the exception of the small bores, 28 and .410, and to some degree, 20ga, there are plenty of orphaned barrels out there, and companies such as Krieghoff, Hambrusch, and others, have made barrels. |
