Parker Brothers 1893 Catalogue
“Our guns are bored on the latest improved system for shooting Nitros, or Smokeless Powder, and all our guns are tested with some one of the most approved makes, and a tag accompanies each gun, giving the results of such a (pattern) test.” The Parker listing in the 1902 Sears catalog said "ALL ARE BORED FOR NITRO POWDER" I am not aware of Parker pressure data c. 1900, but the Parker Service and Proof Load table was published in the 1930s and reproduced in the The Parker Story p. 515. 12g 2 3/4” shell Service Pressure is 10,500 psi. Definitive proof used 7.53 Drams Black Powder and 2 oz. shot with a pressure of 15,900 psi. The pressure was no doubt measured using LUP and modern transducer values would be 10-14% higher, or more than 17,500 psi. LTC Calvin Goddard reported the same numbers in “Army Ordnance”, 1934. He wrote that Parker followed the SAAMI standards of that period: 13,700 psi proof, 9500 psi service for 2 5/8” chamber; 15,900 psi proof, 10,500 psi service for 2 3/4” chamber (by LUP) + 10-14% for modern transducer measurement.

Milton's 1890 NH does have impressive "black & white" colors, esp. with the degree of wear on the action
In the middle of the right barrel is an "end-on" ribband where the thinner mid-barrel ribband was folded into the thicker breech segment ribband.

There's a lot to unpack on this one.
Nitro-proofed tiger striped Damascus barrels, Barrels checked by gunsmith but he doesn't work on Parkers, action wont cock, wood repairs & cracks, but other than that she's cherry with low miles owned by a little old lady who only shot it at church picnics to start the three legged race! |

Sears Catalogue:
"OUR GLOBE SIGHT FURNISHED FREE WITH ALL PARKER SHOTGUNS." Anyone ever seen one of them from Sears? And the $100 DH "Doctors Grade/Gun" sold for $72.85? Quite a discount from Sears. Others with big discounts as well. I guess no one paid full price unless ordered directly from Parker? |
