Default Griffin & Howe has Records of 4,162 Parkers Sold

This is in answer to a question that comes up with some regularity.

This is a link to the listing of all Parker serial numbers sold by A&F, VL&D, and G&H and on which Bob Beach can supply research material.

WOW!! That's an impressive list for one firm!

It's awesome of G&H to share their records with us like they do.

And they don't charge much, either!
Very good PR for them and thanks to them.

Can someone explain what the 3 DHE serial # listings at the bottom of the list are?

156889 is also in the Serialization book and is a TI3, H, 2, C, 20, 30

189231 is not in the Serialization book.

238457 is in the Serialization book as a D, H, 0, S, 12, 30


The reason these two (and likely many more) serial numbers appear in both sets of records is because the guns were probably originally sold by Parker Bros. or Remington and subsequently sold again by A&F, VL&D, or G&H at a later date.
