Ran into a guy wanting to sell a parker bros dual hammer sxs the wife thought it looked cool so we got it I like to collect old pistols and have a few rifles but so far have stuck with stuff made for smokeless powders
What I found out so far is it’s a 12g made in 1887 a twist barrel with ejector barrel weight 315 frame size 1 I couldn’t find the grade mark but think it is a grade 1 has some engraving on hammers and top bottom and just an outline on sides not a lot or very ornate engraving patent date of mar 16 &23 1875 Other marks couldn’t find out were circled t and a letter c on barrel
Stock has been refinished at some time removing the checkering it has some pitting and a couple of really small dents in the barrel still need to clean it up but think it will turn out to be safe to fire some low power rounds
The barrel fit is a little loose so would a brass shim and grease be the best way to tighten that up?
Hope I was in the right place at the right time
I honestly didn’t know anything about what I bought when I got it
Any idea of what it might be worth?
