A few Parkers from the early 1880's.
The C Bernard is a No. 2 frame 30" 12 ga gun, about 8lbs, likely intended as an all around shot gun. It was a Charles Parker New York Salesroom gun. Sent back in 1885 to have rib matting added.
The middle G is a 12ga 28" 1 frame , about 7lbs upland gun. Little used and owned by a single family.
The bottom G is a 16ga 30" 0 frame, a little under 7 lbs. Original no checkering. Owned by a pioneer Utah Mormon family and taken with them to eastern British Columbia.
