- - whats your last parker (https://parkerguns.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10530)

Rich ,What Dean Said ! I recently acquired a nice little GH 20 bought on our Forum after a couple attempts ,seems The Third time did the trick ! This may not be my last one for long ,I am considering a 28 Repro but haven't pulled the trigger so to speak !

My last Parker is a 12 gauge VH with 30" barrels in very good condition. It came out of Ohio with a 1919 - 1920 South Carolina hunting license found behind the buttplate made out to a 12 year old boy in Gadsen, SC. I'm still trying to track him or his descendents down.

Best Regards, George

20 ga Trojan, tight as a drum and off to Brad for touchup.

I caught the Parker bug only about 1 1/2 years ago (I still suffer from Fox and Elsie disease). I was able to buy a original but not high condition CHE Bernard at a small local auction in the Spring of 2012--that started me down the road. My last Parker is a DH with great Damascus barrels and no safety that was owned by TH Keller a President of the ATA and the eastern sales manager for Peters Cartridge Co. It has been great fun shooting Mr. Keller's gun and researching his very interesting life.
Now if I could kind Ansley's Parker DH that would be my Holy Grail!!

So Bill, How did that DH 32" & 28" work out?

Better late than never. You sure got some nice ones for a start.:)

I have the itch for a Fox and have a CE 16 lined up for later this fall. Just what I need another 16:whistle:

Michael Murphy, there are good sides and bad sides to the DH two barrel set I recently got in the mail. Bad side is that I misread the ad and the gun originally was a two barrel set, but is no longer. The good sides are, one, the barrels that are still there are the 32" ones and they are wonderful .735 bores with .038 of choke in both barrels. The blue is almost all there and very nice. #2 good point is the receiver and other case colored parts. They have color which seems to be original, don't know. Engraving is very sharp. The stock is really nice and straight like a dedicated pigeon gun ordered by someone who knew what he was looking for. The finish is nice and the checkering is sharp. The pad is a very old Silvers type with leather face. The pad has a weak widow's peak that fits into part of the original cut for the skeleton butt. Not all of the original cut is still there, so the stock must have been shortened a little. Infallible trigger in working condition as far as I can see. No test fire yet. I will be looking for a set of #2 frame 28" Titanic barrels to make this a two barrel set again.

Bill, Sounds like a nice piece. good luck with it.

My most recent addition is a 1875 grade 2, 10ga. lifter swapped here on the forum. 138 years old and still dropping birds out of the sky.
