I yield to your expertise in matters of PARKERS. I only glanced at the sn- and only saw 4 digits in scroll on the trigger guard bow- please know that in spite of the covid scares, there was a heavy crowd, folks moving behind me and my son-in-law, so getting dead nutz details was a job of work--- Damascus or Twist barrels, No milled out slots for the ejector lugger pins as like on every ejector equipped Parker I have ever handled (including my GHE-assembled for me by our late friend Brad B. about 10 years ago--flat extractor bar, but the forearm on this Parker, and also that of the second set of barrels (also Damascus) had the 2 ejector hammers in the forearm iron-- As I didn't dry fire this shotgun, wondering why the extractor bar sprung open when I opened the breech-- also, the safety slide was locked in the FIRE position-could not be moved-- If Brad were still with us, I might have considered a offer of $340- as another "Project gun"--for Brad to re-habilitate, but alas, that's not the case. Just in case you might have any interest, I wrote up an article and with Lori's fotos included, had it placed in Parker Pages- I found an early DH 12 bore action, that had been converted to a GHE by a gunsmith in MN- possibly sometime in the 1920's-- Brad found a set of 28" No. 2 frame VHE barrels, also a V grade buttstock, and the rest is history--
The SC event- are you and the "Lovely Lady Linda attending by chance?? Last time I had contact with my friend Stan Hillis, when I discussed this possibility with him, as a hard working farmer, that time frame is not the best time for him to get away from farm chores. I stopped attending SC events some time ago--sorry, but I just can't get as interested in shooting clays as I am in shooting barn pigeons and crows- to each his own. Foxy
