New Parker in 1872
Ever wonder what a new Parker shot gun would look like, in a Parker low trunk case #615 with a box of Parker bros Metallic shot shells with the UMC label under neath. Parker simply applied their label over UMC's label, The case is a careful copy of an original that I had and was in very bad shape, Mr Kevin McPhail did the case exactly as th old one. The gun is ser #2552 a10 gauge pin lifter chambered for the 10-A shell as seen in the box. The gun was bought from Josh who had it advertised as a 12 gauge, but it is a 10 gauge. Photos of the gun can be seen on Parker guns for sale section page 7 seventh article down 12-15-19 enjoy, Gary
