Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

12-gauge, 3-inch
The great 3-inch 12-gauge CHE our man Josh is marketing brings some questions to mind. The gun Josh is marketing sports a 1939 Remington barrel date code --
241442 05.jpeg
The only other such gun I've recorded is also a CHE with a 1940 barrel date code --
241838 01 CHE-Grade, 12-gauge 3-inch, 32-inch vent rib barrels.jpg
From the January 2, 1939, Parker Price List --

These late guns from Ilion are well marked, but what about such guns from Meriden from the 1924-5 introduction of these mighty 3-inch, 1 3/8 ounce, progressive burning smokeless powder loads --

This was the Brothers P rather vague statement in the 1929 catalog --

Anyone have a gun from 1925 to the move to Ilion that letters as a 12-gauge 3-inch? Any special markings? Care to share?

The post order book records, before Remington era, consist of stock book records. If 3" chambers are not entered in the stock book for a certain gun, you are on your own to identify it as an original 3" gun. I have never seen a pre Remington gun identified as a 3" gun by markings.
