Default Help with id 20ga

Hello

Been so lucky to find a 20ga on a online auction in Denmark. Bought I very cheap. There is not many people in Denmark who knows what a Parker is worth.

Now I trying to find out what I have bought.
I am a little confused about what it is.
The frame seize is 0(the letter "k" is stamped together whit the 0)
Weight of barrels 3,2
Lengt of barrels 28"
Barrel is made of Trojan steel
Grade is stamped 0V
The serial number I 166466 it indicates that it is from 1913

Is it a Trojan or a 0 grade V gun?

I try to take some fotos later to day.

Kind regards
Mikael Kjær

Mikael,

Welcome to the PGCA and thank you for joining!

Good photos will help us identify your gun. Please examine the attached photos. The Trojan frame in the bottom photo is not contoured while the VH and all higher grades are. These and many more photos are available on the PCGA main page, parkerguns.org , under the "Parker Grades" tab found on the left side of the page.

Hello Mikael. Looks like you have a very nice, well used Trojan. Have you considered ordering a letter on your guns from Chuck Bishop? I'd love to know how your 20 gauges got to Denmark. Tells us more about your DHE20. In my opinion your Trojan is worth $1500-2000 from what I can see in your photos. Enjoy them.
Daryl

Hi Daryl

It's my intention to order the research letter. If I can fined a way to pay for it, it's difficult to make check in Denmark. I have asked Chuck if I could pay with PayPal. But waiting for his answer.

I have tried to find the DHE way to Denmark but whit no luck, (there is a couple of threads in here about it).
All I know is that it's ordered I by a company called Lewalt and Schleuters in Fresno CA i 1917. Al it's measures are still the same as when it was ordered.
I can't find its way from USA to Denmark and the same goes for the Trojan. The last owner bought a collektion on a auction and sold the Parker again on a auction.

As a wrote, nobody knows what a Parker is in Denmark. I payed under 250$ for it

Regards
Mikael

Hi OH

Our hunting season starts 1st of October and goes on to 31 of January. That's the main season. We allowed to hunt most birds pheasant, duck, geese and pigeons. There is also deer, hare and fox. From May 16 to juli 15 we are allowed to hunt the roebuck.

Our bird has A hard life in Denmark. Their habitats is invaded by the farmers. They are trying to get as much as possible out of their land. Hop it make sense, my English could be better��.
Many hunters travel to Sweden, Poland one Germany and even Scotland to hunt deers, wild boar.
Regards
Mikael

I don't know how it was for Parker Bros., but the A.H. Fox Gun Co. shipped a lot of guns to L.H. Hagen and Company, Christiana (or Oslo), Norway. All ordered with 8 to 10 mm cast off, sling swivels, and "English" style engraving. So, L.H. Hagen may be the way a Trojan made it into Scandinavia?

A year or two ago one of our A.H. Fox Collectors Association board posters put up some pictures of one of these L.H. Hagen guns, but server crash lost them.
