I should add that I purchased this gun only 20 miles from Phila, so it's likely it has spent the last 120 plus years close to Tryon's!!

Many Tryon Parkers are found in the Philadelphia-Baltimore-Eastern Shore area. A disproportionate number of eight gauge Parkers were sold to Tryon, probably for use on the Susquehanna and the Upper and Lower Chesapeake Bay. Not so many eight gauge Parkers were sold by William Wagner for use on the Potomac River.
