Default Confused

Hi I'm new here and need some help. I have my great grandfathers Parker 10ga. side by side. First, I have looked up the s/n (7735) and it is said to be newer than the engraving on the rib between the bbl's it states " Manufactured for M. Hoag 1869 Seneca Falls NY." Secondly I can't find a frame size, grade or any other markings any where on the gun. the side plates are engraved with hunting dogs on point and the underside of the trigger guard has what look like a Sand piper the wood is very rich and in great cond. The bbl's are marked Laminated Steel. Could this gun be restored to be a shooter? there are parts missing however, both hammers and one firing pin and the little cover on the under lever.
Any help and or advise is greatly appreciated.

Don, Book says 10gauge grade 2 with 30" barrels, the gun dates to 1876 manufacture so I do not know about the rib inscription, was your great grandfather M Hoag from Seneca Falls? Gary

Don, it would be a big help if you could post some clear pictures of the gun and its markings

Dave Fjelline is making hammers for Parkers. I had the opportunity to examine a pair and they are very high quality and reasonably priced. He even has them engraved by request at not much more money. He is a super nice guy and a "Parker Gentleman".

Don, some of the early guns did not have a frame size stamped on the barrel lug. You can measure and determine yourself. Here is a FAQ that describes how.
