What year is a Parker Shotgun Serial number 126212
The Hopkins and Allen Arms Company was active primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Shotgun serial number T9888 likely dates to around the early 1900s, as many of their firearms were produced during that period. For a more precise dating, specific production records or reference materials would be necessary.
The serial number to a browning shotgun made in the year 1989 will have the letters PN found some where in the serial number.
i just like numbers, that's all :D
