Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

Q2 1882 12ga Lifter Pls Advise
Several years ago I rescued this old Parker Lifter from an antique shop in rough condition. I had intended it to be a wall hanger. But, since rejoining PGCA I'm beginning to wonder whether it may have greater utility. The gun is consistent with the research letter I received with Damascus barrels, 30 inches, and on a size 1 frame. The wood is sound but dark with heavy varnish. The barrels are off-frame and are pitted with dents (see attached photos). I'm not looking to restore but wonder if could be professionally cleaned up, put back on face, and wall thickness measured to maybe shoot again. My question is whether it is a worthwhile candidate? I've never seen a Q2 with this same engraving pattern before. Is this typical of Q2's? I realize 1882 was quite a transitional period for Parkers.
Any information, advise, or recommendations would be appreciated.
Jerry
