This is a new gun to me. I have not yet gotten a letter. Some issues are present and the book is not clear...listing this gun as a 10 gauge when it is a 12. Listing it as damascus when it is laminated. However, it does show it was a 2 barrel set so maybe that explains the damascus. Thought I would share a neat gun show find.

Love the Parker made in the USA laminated barrels and the gold ball grip. Gorgeous! Great find.

That must be one of the first guns with the radius at water table/standing breach face. Beautiful.

Outstanding Dean, what are your plans for it? What are the other specs--barrel length, chokes, weight, etc. Wouldnt it be great to take a limit of big, old SD roosters with it.

Beautiful gun!
What a rare and amazing find, at a gun show no less. That’s a Parker that should have been auctioned to realize it’s true potential. You’re a lucky man to find that one Dean!

Harold, plans? I went to a gun show, fell in love, probably paid too much for it and came home with it. Unsure if anybody has done the same……all kidding aside, I hope to do just as you suggested!

30 inch bbls, about M/M for choke. Bores measures where I would expect it. Weighs 7/8. Stock has a 2 7/8 drop and a 14 lop to a SSBP.

Dean, what a find! I look forward to a photo with some prairie roosters posing with it next Fall.

Wow, congrats on that beauty Dean. Leatherman makes a dandy strap on comb riser if that drop causes you any grief. It will not hurt the finish and is easy on and off. Good luck with that very nice Parker.

One of the most frustrating things as a collector is owning a two barrel set with one set missing. My 8 gauge has a fluid steel 10 gauge set out there somewhere

What's frustrating to me is not finding an all original beautiful A grade hammer gun at a local gun show. Congratulations! What a masterpiece.
