That gun is in pretty good shape for a gurl of her age I'd say. The wood looks great... A little short on DAH for me though.... can't be more than 4" is it? I could shoot my one 14ga shell through it and then I'd be done.

Default Parker T latch

I agree with Rich; it looks pretty good as t latches go. A few days of bore and chamber measurements and study may determine the gauge and chambering. The T latch market is pretty thin; this might be a good opportunity for a serious collector.

Best, Austin

Interestingly it is not a back action gun. An early side lock example? Nice gun. David

Interesting that it is represented as having fluid steel barrels. Erick

I'd imagine they're decarbonized steel barrels, somebody who didn't know much would think they were fluid steel.

If they're Decarbonized Steel barrels they should be marked as such on the top rib.

Ed Muderlak informs me that ALL Parker T-Latch guns were chambered for the 12B brass shell ... The confusion occurs because 12B brass shells just happen to be the same diameter as 14 gauge paper shells ... But the 14 gauge came about AFTER the T-Latch gun had been discontinued ... 12B shells are smaller in diameter than the 12A ... But the 12A paper shell is the same diameter as and modern day 12 gauge paper and plastic shells.

I'll be curious to see how much this gun goes for today. They have a LOT of firearms up for auction today and some real keepers. There's a nice looking ghe12 and a B grade that has upgraded engraving to A grade. Very nice looking gun. Everything from civil war muskets to Winchester .22's to Colt National Match autos. Lots of quality guns.

The "first Parker gun" as described in Johnson, was further described as a 14 gauge, even on the museum tag. When examined by those who know about such things, it was found to be a 12 gauge gun.
