Hello!

I have been lucky enough to come into a parker hammer gun of 1884. Its a 26" twist steel barrel gun with a brass shield in the upper wrist of the stock. The gun is in poor condition overall missing its left hammer, having cracks in the stock and a loose action. She'll definately need tlc from a smith.

I look forward to being part of the community and keeping these historic guns in service.

(I'll get pictures posted later)

Usually the Right hammers are missing.

Wow!
26” is an extremely uncommon length for a Parker made in 1884.
Looking forward to the pictures.

Serial # plz

I think the left side chamber has a crack in the wall

And yes, bores are pretty badly pitted

Even after looking through the identifying information i'm not super sure what I have. So any information would be appreciated. I did a basic cleaning when i brought it home, but it will absolutely need to go to a smith for proper refurbishment

I figured it had been messed with at some point in its life. old shotguns are 28-20"

Dean Romig · 01-31-2021, 08:45 PM

Usually 28” - 32”
