Default New member from Nova Scotia, Canada

Hello Fellow Members:

I am glad to be member number 4907 from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

My Parker will be used for pheasant hunting in the October to December season.

I have a GH hammerless 12-gaugue, serial number 202947, completed on July 11, 1923. It has 30 inch Damascus steel barrels.

In 1923, the price was $102.75. Based on an inflation calculator, that gun would be $1471.88 today.

Welcome to the PGCA Brian. Thank you for becoming a member. You have a great gun and I'm sure the pics don't do it justice. Make sure you post some stories and pics.

A very late Damascus gun. You have a real treasure. The condition is quite unusual for a Damascus gun. Congratulations.

It knocks me over, Brian. If I were to buy another Parker, none would make me happier than one like yours for the rest of my life. How is it choked?
