information request

[Robert.J.Gable]

I am the lucky inheritor of a Parker side by side 12 ga. Below is the information I could find based upon the Parker Gun Association website guidance.


Barrel rib: Parker Bros Makers Meridian Conn. Twist
Serial number: 102326 (matching barrel and lower receiver)
Manufacture date: 1901
Weight: 3 lbs 10 ounces
Grade: I think "PHE", due to apparent ejectors
Flat portion of lower receiver: T with a circle around it; C about .25 inches to the right; weight marking of 3 10 to the right of the C
Frame size: 1 1/2

Please assist with general value

welcome Robert, and congratulation on a piece of family history

value is difficult without seeing the gun, good pictures are the next best thing

I can add that according to the serialization book, it should have 28 inch barrels and a capped pistol grip stock.

Unfortunately these are the only pictures I have right now......I hope this helps

[Rick Losey]

wow- assuming that hasn't been refinished, those are great looking twist barrels

are the bores in as good condition?

[Robert.J.Gable]

I believe so, minimal wear

The pics are poor but it looks like the stock has some significant issues alonf the trigger plate and guard. Shame I have never seen a P grade with ejectors. Wonder how many they made that way.
