Groups on facebook are private. Nobody will be able to view that link or the gun unless they are on Facebook and are a member of the group.

If you have specific questions about the gun, it would be best to copy the photos and post them directly here and ask your questions.

[Bill Murphy]

Another facebook false alarm. I hope air raid and tornado warnings aren't being converted to facebook.

[Rick Riddell]

Sorry for the mistake here are photos, sorry to annoy you Bill, seems to be a trend with you!

[Brian Dudley]

The gun appears to be all original.
It has the Parker “Full” comb.

What are your concerns? Why do you ask about it?

[Rick Riddell]

No concerns, just looking for opinions from knowledgeable people on Parker guns, you know in the spirit of sharing knowledge, what this forum is or use to be about.

[Richard Flanders]

You can't tell that much about it from these few pictures. Wood looks good and well fit to metal in most places but recessed under the rear corners of the receiver. Lever is a tad to the right. Dolls head fit is good. Receiver has 0% cc left. Barrel blue may be original and moderately worn. Need a lot more pics and info on bore condition, muzzles, chokes and mechanical function before anyone can really render much of an opinion. Just from these pics it looks like a well used but not horribly abused gun that appears to be original.

[Mills Morrison]

Looks like a pretty honest gun to me

[Bill Murphy]

Rick, sorry to have offended you, but it seems odd that facebook is so universal but is not. It seems to be a good gun, the full comb is not common on a VH field gun, a nice touch.

[Gerald McPherson]

Do full comb Parkers have thicker wrists?

[Brian Dudley]

Do full comb Parkers have thicker wrists?


Not really.

[Randy G Roberts]

Do full comb Parkers have thicker wrists?

This one does. Quite noticeable when handling it.

[Dean Romig]

Do full comb Parkers have thicker wrists?

Not in the pre-Remington days.

Wow Randy, that is unusually thick-wristed. What is the YOM?

1928. Letter info attached.

[Rick Riddell]

Yeah the pics aren’t great, just trying to help spread some knowledge, as this a is a great site! I noticed in the pics the forend and stock don’t seem to match, I wondered if it was replaced.

[Dean Romig]

Randy, are there any Remington codes on the left barrel flat?





.

[Richard Flanders]

That is a thick wrist. Hard to believe the stock, or at least the stock finish is original on a gun with a receiver that weathered. Oops, I see those last pics are from a different gun. My comment holds for the first gun though; the butt looks too nice for the gun and, as stated above, it doesn't seem to match the forend.

[Jim DiSpagno]

Does that look like cysnide colors on the top tang area or just poor pic and Rich is right as to the fore end wood not matching butt

[Brian Dudley]

In regards to the gun originally posted about... Without knowing the serial range of the gun, I would suspect that the buttstock was a later factory replacement and the forend is original to the gun.
The rounded bottom on the checkering pattern is later. Mid 1920s and on.

[Randy G Roberts]

Randy, are there any Remington codes on the left barrel flat?

There are no Rem. codes. Just the usual markings one would expect.

[Dean Romig]

Here's a VH with the typical wrist with the "trap comb".
