Would that every poster asking questions started with such a good array of photos.
One other might help. One of the rib. Is the rib just plain matted or does it have a Parker Bros. legend? Or, the very rare "PARKER, MERIDEN, CONN. U.S.A." legend? Parker Pages lists 240466 as possibly the last VHE 20-Gauge made in Meriden, but I don't see anything definitive on the last Meriden 12-gauge. |

Being a 1/2 frame gun, it is likely an Ilion, NY made gun. The grip cap is really the only real monkey wrench in this. But that could just be using up stock.
Based on the ship date. It looks like it was right after the move to Ilion. You very well may have the earliest known 1/2 frame gun.

I see "Parker" on the underside, so it is definitely later. Is Josh Lowensteiner here? You ought to submit it to Parkers Found as earliest 1/2 frame

My 1/2 frame is 240647 and was made late 1937 in Meriden, at least that's what the construction looks like. The second set of barrels was made in Ilion early 1938. I think the key is to look for the mullard border on the stock and forend, the rib inscription, and the V on the barrel flats. I've been told that approx 250 1/2 frame guns were made however I think that total might be a little low.

Contact Craig Reynolds on this as well. He keeps a 1/2 frame registry of sorts.

The latest ParkerI own is 1930-vintage, so I'm not real knowlegable on the Remington era guns, but what about the Parker Bros. rollstamp on the watertable?
