Default Hello!

I have been lucky enough to come into a parker hammer gun of 1884. Its a 26" twist steel barrel gun with a brass shield in the upper wrist of the stock. The gun is in poor condition overall missing its left hammer, having cracks in the stock and a loose action. She'll definately need tlc from a smith.

I look forward to being part of the community and keeping these historic guns in service.

(I'll get pictures posted later)

Wow!
26” is an extremely uncommon length for a Parker made in 1884.
Looking forward to the pictures.

I think the left side chamber has a crack in the wall And yes, bores are pretty badly pitted


Even after looking through the identifying information i'm not super sure what I have. So any information would be appreciated. I did a basic cleaning when i brought it home, but it will absolutely need to go to a smith for proper refurbishment
