Default My First Parker

I am new to Parkers and planning my first purchase. The gun is a G grade 16 gauge on 0 frame. Barrels are around 28" and damascus.

The serial is 92335, is it possible to do a lookup.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. Does it mention the chamber length?

The Serialization Book won't "mention" the chamber length, but the gun you are considering is the hottest Parker on the collector market today. If it is in good condition, buy it. Let us know how you do.

Why is that?

Do you think its do to the resurgence of interest in the 16 ga. shotshell?
Or is it something else?

I sure do love my little VH 0 16ga. I couldn’t have asked for a better 50th
birthday gift to myself.

The fact that Damascus small frame guns are "hot hot hot" today has little to do with the popularity of the 16 gauge. It has to do with the fact that Damascus small frame guns are scarce to rare, fun to shoot, easy to carry, are the classic bird guns of the early twentieth century. They are just cute little things, rare in 20 gauge, very rare with ejectors, very very rare in high grades, extremely rare in 28 gauge. Only the most informed of Parker shooters ordered these guns.
