Default New to the Parker Club
Howdy, I'm an avid CZ owner and collector. At a recent gun show, a shotgun just spoke to me..even though I wasn't looking for shotguns. I had to have her, but I didn't know anything about Parker shotguns at the time. I did a little research on my phone and called a friend who is a collector of old guns. I left the show with it, and even if it's monetary value isn't anything more than I paid, I'm still happy that I own this fine firearm and can pass it down someday. Anyways, glad to be here. Looking forward to getting involved in other discussions.

What I think I know about it:
1897 Parker DHE
Damascus Barrel
English grip
Original ivory beads
All original
Double trigger
Shell ejector

Welcome. Enjoy shooting that fine gun. A research letter can reveal even more about your gun, and I highly recommend getting one if the records are available.

May we see more pictures of different aspects of your gun?

Incidentally, it is a DH, not a DHE... the E indicating it has ejectors which your gun has not.

Dean -- how could you tell from the first set of pictures that it didn't have ejectors?

I like your new gun. Sure would like to see more pics of the barrels. What frame size? Welcome to the Parker world.

Is there a dog engraved on your DH's floor plate?.... maybe not early enough...

It would have been difficult to "overpay" for your DH. In your description the correct term is "extractor", not ejector. We need more pictures, especially the rib at the breech end and all surfaces of the receiver.
