Parker identification help

3 Attachment(s)

I have had this one for awhile. The gun is marked T. J. Parker. I know Parker was making guns in this time period. Does anyone recognize this one? Is it from the famous Parker or might it be some other Parker? Any help would be appreciated

Sorry, not a Parker Bros. gun.

Not a Parker Bros. gun, but still a very cool rifle! I think I would have to shoot it.

What it is, is a Vincent style rifle. Looks to be in decent condition. Suggest you try to find a local shop that specializes in traditional muzzleloading. There are some online resources wheee you can lean more about black powder. Have fun.

Col. Gardner's book, American Gunmakers, doesn't list a T.J. Parker, but does list a Thomas Parker in Oberlin, Lorain County, Ohio, in the 1850s.

1850's sounds about right for that rifle.

Interesting place to mark it on the muzzle. I am not at all up to snuff on muzzleloading guns. Did other makers mark the muzzles like this?

I'm not a muzzle loading rifle expert but I been around them for a long time and I've never seen the maker's mark on the muzzle like that.
