I am new to this forum..

My father owned a Parker...and I believe the Serial number was 196314. I got this number from some old insurance papers that I recently ran across.
He has been dead since 1998...

As a kid I thought the gun was something given to him by my mother (also deceased)...around the time they got married (1950)...

I checked another site that put the date of manufacture somewhere around 1921???....which seems strange because my mother knew nothing about guns...and all of my guns growing up were "Hardware Store" guns...I grew up shooting a Remington Model 11 ("It'll never jam...it's 'hard hitting"")..and never considered anything other than a gun that held less than 3 shells..

If there is some way to give a "profile" on the gun (original price...grade...etc) with the serial number alone...I'd love to hear what is known...

I remember the gun fairly well..it was NOT fancy.....but it "disappeared" years ago..so all I have is the serial number from an old insurance rider.

Thanks a million...and I hope I haven't wasted anyone's time.
