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..
Dean, both of the barrels are twelve bore, the one barrel is 31 and the other is 26 in. the rifled barrel has the following engraved on the rib "MFG for C.A. WINSHIP.PALMS. CALIFORNIA,BY PARKER BROS." I will try to get some pictures.

Hi Doc.!!!
I'll post the pics for you - no problem at all..
Anyway - Here is Doc's Parker - and the pictures don't do it justice (thank Charlie!! ) and I can say that as I was there when Charlie was taking these pics (I was rummaging through the gun safe to see what else Doc had at the time - more on that later )....

Looks like a Parodox! Just makes you wonder it it went to Africa. Some of the Jungle guns had rifling the last 4" or so. Others had rifling that ran straight from the chamber until the last 2 1/2 or 3"s then took a twist. How is the rifling in this gun?
My thanks to all..I will send pics as soon as I get back from Del Greco...
The gun now wears the PG stock that was put on gun in 1917 according to Parker records.
I have the original stock as well that was on gun in 1912 when it was shipped.
The original stock also has a cheek piece on it? No record of this in the letter.
No safety on gun..concave rib.
What do you suppose,a live bird shooter or a trap shooter was original owner?
Very interesting. Is the rifled set rifled for the full length of the bores or just in the last four or five inches at the muzzles which would be the choke section on barrels bored for shot?
