Default My First SBT

Guys and Gals,

I was at a gun auction today waiting on a nice looking 1100 when this parker single crossed the block. I figured at $300 and bidding stopped I wouldn't take a beating on it. Well some guy ran it up to $1000 and quit. Honestly before today I have never heard of a parker *ducking down waiting for the beating*

My question is could someone help tell me what grade it is. I really would like to shoot just want to know if I should since it is not less than 95%. It is tight on opening and closes like a safe.

Any info would be great.

I put a link to an extensive set http://imgur.com/a/MtOEY

Thanks,
Tom Coulter

Nice find, an SB (grade 5). According to The Parker Story, one of 96 produced.

136151 is a 32" 12 ga. VH with a capped pistol grip. Any Parker is worth looking at.... getting one at the right price is what we all strive for. Seems you've figured out how to do that so go take a look at it.

That SB you got at the auction is beautiful. The buttstock may not be original to the gun but the case color and engraving certainly make up for that.

Tom,

You did get burnt a little on that deal --- it looks like somebody stole the hammers and one of your barrels. But that's OK. I have a very nice 1100 and if you want to swap just let me know.

Well that explains why I couldn't get the extra shell in. Guess I will have to use it as a boat paddle or give it to kids as a toy since it is missing parts and won't work.

For an SB, that is a great price. As Dean suggests, the buttstock MAY not be original. And the colors on the water table actually suggest, to me, that the action may have been refinished. But the photos do not confirm much on either point.

It does look to be restored, but a bargain at three times the price...
