Default Parker Quality G.H.

GHE 12ga showing parts and serial number locations.

Sold in 1911 as a large order group to Charles Tisdale in Vancouver, B.C.

This is my regular heavy shooting gun.

In late years, the engraving birds were quail and pheasant.

All my damascus guns except one are late and have ejectors. I'm one of the oddballs who strongly favors ejector guns and automatic safeties.

I also prefer ejectors,double triggers and auto safty. My most faverit is factory original!!!...keeping the gun original and not fooled with is best....I like factory hard rubber or skelitin but plates over any type of thick recoil pad. I have not kept any american SXS guns that have had the plate removed and pad added. I know that some parkers were suplied with rubber recoil pads but I just can't warm up to them...better grades D and up should have skelitin plates, keeping the exsquisid quality parker was known for....thanks all SXS ohio....(-:

I like to carry all of my break open guns, broken open, even in the field. I was taught this by my father, who explained to me that he once shot the pant leg off of a guy walking in front of him when he was carrying his SxS closed and (He thought.)on safe.

I don't close the gun until the birds are up. Then I have to mess with the safety, since all of my guns have automatic safeties. So I hate them.

I was also taught to shoot trap holding the gun out front and not mounted. They did this when my dad was a kid and when I shot trap with his buddies, many years ago, all of them held their guns down somewhere near their waist when they called for the bird. They didn't mount their guns until the clay bird was in the air.

I wish we still did this, since it is better hunting practice. I guess the rule changed in the 30's sometime. I still do sometimes, but the other shooters look at me like I'm nuts.

Steve, there is no rule in trapshooting that says you have to pre-mount your gun before calling for the target. Trapshooting now is a game of perfection and pre-mounting the gun eliminates one of the variables to a miss. If you were shooting registered ATA targets, you would be considered odd but just shooting practice, no one should object. Mount the gun the way you want to, your paying for the target.

Bruce, the bottom three pictures are not of Parker 155033, they are of a Remington era Parker. I'm sure you know this but didn't clearly indicate such.

The intent was to show G's through the eras. The third from the last is a 1927 gun if I remember correctly. The last two are of 20ga GHE SN 241, 600.

Dean, I had forgotten about this thread until you mentioned it. The intent was to show differences in some eras and to show partial disassembly and location of matching numbers, and what an unabused Parker should look like. Thought it might be helpful to newer people. As you know, I suggest these plentiful damascus G's to people. I think they are great guns to look at and to use, even with modern shotshells today, although I understand some urge limiting the loads more than I do.

It's a good informative thread Bruce, I just wish there were more Damascus barreled small bore Parkers. I know there are plenty of twelves and a good number of sixteens (I have a few of each) but I wish there were a few more twenties and twenty-eights.

I have always shot trap for fun and have never shot in a match. The only serious match shooting I have done is .45 pistol while I was in the military.

If I was shooting in a match I'd shoot however made me a better shot, and that would probably be with the gun mounted when I called for the bird. However, when sharpening my eye for hunting, I call for the bird with the gun held out front with my arms almost straight out. That way you pull it almost straight back to bring it to your shoulder. It can be done quickly, but you can miss your spot weld.
