Default New Addition Parker 14ga

I found this Parker 14ga, grade 2 at a gun show last weekend. It was labeled as a wall hanger. I really don't like sellers opinion describing a Parker as a wall hanger, but this one thought it was. The barrels are not great, but overall, a nice honest shotgun just sitting on a table not getting the respect it deserves. It is on a number one frame, 30 in bbls, lettered cylinder and mod and measure the same, .032 wall thickness, no cracks in the wood and the metal has no pitting, other than neglected barrels.

I have slept with it the last few nights and my wife isn't happy. It's taken up her side.

Talking to a fellow gun nut today about the shotgun, he indicated that this gun was most likely not shot in 100 years. It was locked shut when I purchased it with the locking block froze solid. The operating lever didn't move, all I could do was look down the barrels to see it was not loaded. Thanks for the kind words; I really will take care of it.
