Default Old Parker

I have a serial number 215 Parker Brothers SXS with a Laminated Steel Barrel. This number is on it in three different places. No other numbers except for the pat. date and Parker Brothers etc written across the top of the barrel. The forend was missing but I found one and placed it on. Its a good looking gun and I have shot it countless times but would like to know a little more about it. Of all the pictures that I can find on the web, I haven't been able to find any that look like mine. Thanks.

Default Forend

I have owned the gun my whole life. It was my Dads. Someone had made one for it and it looked awful. I've kept it put up just about my whole life. I hunted on ebay for a forend and then I found one. I got it put it on and the gun came together. Unfortunately I don't have a closer picture with it on the gun but here is a pic from ebay before I bought it. its a 4 or 5 digit serial number but at least my gun has one now.

Wonderful back action gun in remarkable condition. The straight grip was standard. Too early for surviving records.

The value in your gun is the fact that it was your fathers gun' Monetary Value is low with out the original fore end serial no to the gun. I am just curious but what have you been shooting in your gun. I just ask because a gun of that vintage could have very short chambers. Is it a 10ga or a 12ga.

It is a 12gauge. Old reload stuff that my Dad did in the 70's.

I missed that in your original description, sorry! A great old gun, you are lucky to have it.

As previously stated there is not a lot of value in your gun beyond it being a family treasure due to the forearm and more so because back actions are not that desirable beyond filling out a Parker collection with early variations.
