That number gun should be a 12 bore lifter with 30 inch barrels,
pistol grip stock

I would look for the same number on other parts to be sure they match.


also - no bother - some of us actually like to talk about Parkers every now and then

[Robert Webb]

Thank you, yes that describes the gun so that is the serial number? Also would you know the value of the gun or how to find out?
Thanks Bob

the people who can (and I am not one) make an attempt at that will need to see clear photos, close ups of the stock, action(top sides bottom), barrels and an honest desription of the bore condition.
( and even then, I would say its only a best guess without the piece in hand )

Thank you very much for your help at least I know more today than I did yesterday.
Thanks again

Hello Eric , the pictures look good thanks for posting them I hope someone will be able to tell me more about the gun and maybe even the ruff value.
Thank you once again Bob

[Robert Webb]

Hello, I was wondering if the pictures are good enough to enable anyone in telling me something about the gun such as year,grad, or value ?
Thanks Bob

Well At least it is a Parker. Your serial number looks barely legible on the guard. It will have a S/N marked on the water table and barrel flats. Looks to be a Grade 1. Being an earlier lifter, most were not marked with the Grade. The barrels should be marked with the Type of steel. Looks like a twist variant.

This Parker is very late 1870's or early 1880's

[OH Osthaus]

the 22597 serial number dates to 1881
