Per the Serialization book, the barrel length is 32", making it more desirable these days. It appears that there is some rust on the right side of the barrels. Some additional photos of all details would help. The good and the bad. Closeups of the stock and forend that might show any cracks, any metal defects, the end of the barrels where the front bead is would also help determine value. It is difficult at best to determine such from photos and most members are reluctant to offer values.

Remington repair code?
As I read it, I see an H3 where I would expect to see a Remington repair code.
If so, then, I read that as telling me: 1961, Service section received

Very nice gun Nita, I hope one of your siblings will want it and use it. As others have said, a DHE 12 with 32" barrels is a desirable gun. It has great wood and looks un good condition. The case appears to be a traditional Leg O' Mutton case from that time period.

Besides the condition and value of the gun, it would be very interesting to understand the origin of the sticker on the gun case. Was the Parker, perhaps, also owned by your Father's Father or another relative who would have been around when the "White Star" line was operating. Your business, of course, but it seems there is more to the story of a shotgun that was made in 1926.

Looks like a wonderful family heirloom.
Looks to me that the Remington repair code on the left barrel flat is KH3 K = May H = 1939. By the next time H was the year code, 1961, Remington was out of the Parker repair business. Unfortunately, there are no surviving records of what the repair was. The PGCA has records for your gun and you could order a research letter from the pick on the Home Page. |

Greetings,
I'm a new member and have an inherited 20 guage Parker from my late stepfather, William James, grandson of William James the philosopher. It has the leather case with brass cleaning rod and oiler. I used the gun when hunting with him as a teenager in Vermont and Colorado. The gun Serial Number is V 94354 and it is in good condition. I hope to sell it to a Parker collector. John Borden |
