Not quite a basket case, but close. Need a good Parker Gunsmith

That side panel checking leads me to believe it could be the Caesar's Parker.

[Jack Kuzepski]

Yeah but Caesar who? Maybe Sid Caesar! I'd guess you'd need a letter to tell you that. It certainly didn't belong to Tsar Nicolas of Russia.
That gun should still make a good shooter.

Clearly anyone could see by the design that it is a tribute to Louis XVI.

Anytime you think a Parker is beyond restoration take a look at "The Coffee Can Parker" in the current issue of Parker Pages.

Best Regards, George

[QUOTE=Dean Romig;197216]Be careful - the stock doesn't appear to be original - there's no evidence of a shield in the bottom of the stock.


Hi Dean, You are right and I stand corrected. I took a real hard look at the butt stock and thought it does seem to be a Parker stock off of some model it is not the right one for this shot gun. The numbers I mistook for matching the guns serial number are not. When I took off the butt stock and upon closer examination you can see some wood shims, poor relief cuts and even some filler. So...I have a lot to learn. Steve

Now the good part, It looks like all the parts are there, the bores are nice and shiney and when close the barrels are tight against the action. I black powder hunt with other double classics, a L. C. Smith, a Fulton and a Model 99 Forehand Damascus hammer Double (the most fun). I would love to get the Parker up and running. Can anyone recommend a good Parker gunsmith? Here are some pictures of the Parker. Thanks, Steve

I will resort this gun, make new wood for it, repair lock up, engraving, new screws, I only can fix pitting inside barrels
My name is Paweł Janusz, please email me for pictures and look up pictures in my profile albums too

Pawel, do you have some before and after photographic examples of Parkers that you have repaired/restored? I'm sure we would all like to see them.

I agree with Dudley, is this project worth it?. NO.
Find a nice gun and buy it and you will be saving yourself a lot of money.
