I have my grandfathers 10 gauge hammer gun according to the serial numbers it was made in 1863 . In my research I found that parker only made a gun until it was ordered? Is there any record of who ordered the guns ? I would like to find out where my grandfather got the gun if possible. He lived in the early 1900 s

Parker Bros. wasn't making shotguns in 1863.
Does it say Parker Bros. anywhere on the gun? . |

Yes it says parkeron it . I looked it up on the internet on a serial number and identified sight
|
I'm a dummy its is 1883

It would help to know the serial number and grade of the gun to know if there is info on your gun.

Ira - Go to the Parker Home page, on the left side, look for FAQ's. Near the bottom of the FAQ's is a tutorial on posting pix.
Good luck! |
29490 is a Plain Twist, Top Action, probably a grade 0 or 1, capped pistol grip with 30-inch 10 gauge barrels.
And there are surviving records on your gun to support a research letter. But, being such a low grade it is likely your gun was originally sent to a hardware store and it is very unlikely there will be any reference to a person. But you can spend the $100 for a nicely done research letter on your gun. . |
