Sounds like a challenging restoration project. If you decide to part it out I bet you could sell the hammers, hammer screws, and internal lock parts, especially the main springs, for more than what you paid for it.

So now I want to chase roosters with a hammer gun. Given my description of the barrels, any suggestions for someone who has the expertise to assess whether or not they are even a candidate for restoration and who can restore them? Thanks, Jack

Jack; I recently had a set of barrels done by Dale Edmonds and they are beautiful !! They looked pretty rough when I sent them ,same kind of thing ,I ask Dale to assess them and he thought they were good candidates and redid them ,What do you think ?

I think they look very nice. The biggest concern I have with mine is the ring of weld and what that might mean. I will contact Dale Edmonds to see what he thinks Thanks. Jack

Dave; Thank you ; It is an EH grade I picked up at a local show about a year ago ,It is, of course you know this but some may not " A 10 Ga." also it is on a # 2 frame ,and weighs a little over 9 lb's with its 30 " barrels !What is a little different is the thickness and the depth of the stock ,it is just a little ,maybe an eighth in. or so thicker and a little deeper from top to bottom than a standard 12 Ga. stock and for a light 10 ,it feels really nice and balanced when you swing this gun ! Also still nice and thin in the wrist ,like all Parkers !

Russ,That is a great looking gun! And on a 2 frame frame it must be a joy to shoot.I have a couple of 10,s.The top gun is my EH.The funny thing about this gun is the engaving is very lightly done.The bottom gun is my NH.I shot this gun this past Sunday at trap.The boys were rolling on the ground watching this old girl destroy targets with an 1 1/4oz. of 8's.Both guns are 30" 3 frame guns. I really should take them out for some ducks as my town has a rich history of duck hunting on Long Island Sound here in CT.Now if I can only find a nice light 10 for grouse...
