New member with an Early Model Parker seeking information and guidance

[Devin Stargel]

Greetings from Louisville, KY.

First of all let me begin by saying that while I am a firearms dealer, I have very little knowledge of these early Parkers.

I do have a Parker of my own which appears to be a very early model "Parker Brothers, Meridian Conn" double in 10ga. It appears to closely resemble the T-latch design & is marked with a Nov 18,1886 date along with a matching 1339 serial on all parts.

Any advice on posting to the appropriate category to get the best feedback is appreciated. Your society seems to have a wealth of knowledge from which maybe I can learn a bit from.
