[Bruce P Bruner]

While I've been looking for a Parker with specific characteristics, a straight grip, long barrels and hammers, it's been a futile mission.
My latest, soon to be acquisition, checks all the boxes except one minor detail, it's not a Parker. It's also really old, pre "Not for Ball". Based on the Birmingham Proof Marks, manufactured from 1868-1875.
This one is a Clabrough Side Lever, 32.25" laminate barrels with good bores and locks up tight. I'm a fan of the Clabrough, I have one presently. Both of my Clabrough shotguns were previously owned by the late Lawrence Shelton.
Here are a few photos of my quality, very affordable, straight grip, long barreled antique, soon to be delivered on my doorstep.
