Parker Bros.

It is with sadness that a truck repair is going to cost me this fine gun, but such is life.

It is a 1903 Parker Damascus GH grade 12guage 2.5" chamber S/S game gun, with 30" barrels choked "light full" both sides, - a real peach that's for sure. An unmolested - as shipped - 120 year old Parker - all original, numbers matching. Magnificent feather crotch American walnut furniture ( no chips or cracks - all metal to wood surfaces are perfect ) and fully engraved with game scenes / birds & dogs etc ) The only blemish is the small area of pitting on the bottom flat ( barely noticeable ) a badge of honor I say. But the rest passes easily 30" Damascus barrels that will ring like St Mary's - no delamination or weak joints - all metal to metal surfaces are tight - lever is center, it locks up like a vault.

I've hunted with it for about 15 years on grouse hunts while moosin' - it shoots a smooth string and kills most all its pointed at - any who take a pair of roughies with it hand it back smiling in awe as they break for the birds. The finish is smooth velvet with some case colors remaining - bores are shiney with a little wear after a century of use - I would rank them a solid 8.5 out of 10 - importantly, no pitting. The wood finish is original, no "refinishing" here - just a light wax.  The "Dogs Head" Parker butt plate is intact with no chips or cracks.

Handles like a Bugatti and carries like a 20g - collectors, this is a good one. Included will be a letter of Authenticity by the Parker Collectors Guild verifying the spec's as shipped from the Meriden Conn. factory on February 10th, 1903. They all check. As well, I will include some ammo -  2 full boxes of Kent Gamebore Diamondshot #7's in 2.5", and over 40 once fired hulls & the boxes. This load is perfect for this gun - the ammo is available online.

Asking $3800 + the shipping. You won't be disappointed - more pics available to your email.
