Lucky find
I just bought a Parker from sister inlaws grandfather yesterday. Looks to be a vh from 1906. Neither of us had any idea what it was so I got a ridiculous deal. These guns are beautiful ad this thing shoots and shoulders like a dream.:shock:
I am in Alberta Canada. |
Congrats. Matt on what sounds like a nice gun and a Great Buy ! I hope you are aware the next problem is that ,you have opened the door to that shotgun buying disease most of us have here on this Forum " PARKERITIS " Once caught, well..... just let me say the VH won't be your last Parker purchase !:rotf: Matt if you join the PGCA and desire a letter for your new Parker ,you actually get your membership and discount on the letter for less money than a non member ,ordering a letter for the info on your gun ,plus a really nice quarterly magazine to go with your new membership ! Best ; Russ

Now I just need to figure out how to post pictures and hen verify it is what I think it is lol
|
Congratulations! Post the serial number and we can tell you what stock and barrel length it left the factory with.
Go to the home page and you can see high quality pictures of each of the grades. Before you ask; there is no cure for Parkeritis, nor is anyone looking for one. |

So here are a few shots. First impression I'd say restocked on the but with a weatherby recoil pad and its been reblued all over.

Have you measured the length of the barrels a 2 frame marked 4 lbs 4ozs I would guess would be longer than 30''.
|
She's 30" on the dot sir. I am really curious what the chamber size is a the previous owner was using win AA loads in it that we're pretty light but 23/4"
|
Also any idea what the wk in the oval is?
|
Matt, The "WK"is the inspectors mark of Walter King.
