Looking for any pertinent and/or exceptional information about this Parker.
SN 206915

Many thanks

Also pertaining to this gun...

Are there any things in particular that stick out, or that you look for when attempting to determine if a parker has been restored vs a closet queen? The gun I'm looking at is a nothing special GH but it is in rather nice condition. As you probably guessed, I can't inspect it in person (at least not presently anyway). Any help is always appreciated. I always learn something from you guys when any question is asked.

I do know the following... Parker bros GH 12ga, 2 frame, Parker Special Steel bbls 30'' Full & I.M. (4lb2oz), Circa1924, 14 1/8" LOP

Hope everyone is staying safe and sound. Can't catch covid-19 from a grouse (yet).

Regards,

No records available, but you probably knew that.

the only hope you have for a remote evalutation is to post plenty of good clear photos

[Dean Freeman]

Yes, if only I could get good clear photos... The gun is about three hundred miles away, and while I can see what looks like a survivor with faded case colors and great wood, they don't have the definition to show if the checkering has been re-cut, etc. Plus, as I stated above, I don't know a lot of the tricks collectors use to tell if a gun is original or not. If I can get any better photos, I'll be sure to post them, but I'll likely just have to pass on this one. My wife will be so happy!

I highly recommend you definitely pass up on ANY gun you can't handle personally or get good clear hi-def pictures of any and all aspects of the gun that you may request.
