Parker 2 barrel set with leather case

[Tom Bullard]

I've recently acquired a Parker shotgun (2 barell set) in an ornate solid leather case. See picture. Does anyone know if that would be a standard Parker gun case? Anybody seen a case like that before?

As far as the gun goes, it's a DH that dates to 1919. I haven't figured out the other particulars yet.

looks like someone's dream gun not much original the splinter forend and the frame look somewhat original

The case, probably Spanish, is not original to the gun.

[John Davis]

Nice set up. Trap style butt pad.

Look carefully at the case, inside and out, for a maker's name. It could be an H.H.Heiser, Denver.

You're saying the gun is not an original Parker? Why do you say this? Give me more info. I'm not a seasoned firearms hobbyist.

Tom, the current stock on your gun is a replacement. Also the beaver tail forend is after market as it does not carry the D grade checkering pattern. Each of these do not have the Parker style of finish. Steve is merely stating someone made the gun their "own" as to particular style, fit, and finish. The splinter forend, barrels, and frame do look original as to factory. Nice gun. Shoot and enjoy.

[Tom Bullard]

Ah, ok, thanks for the info and clarifications. Good to know.

This is another "Parker" I obtained. Is this one also modified? Its a DH circa 1929.

[edgarspencer]

Stock and trigger are aftermarket. It's a DHE, not DH

These are beautiful guns. Though not original they are still fine examples of Parker Bros. Guns. I am looking at the first gun, and wondering if you are from the midwest. In the 50's trap shooting was done a lot at night, and a old friend of mine removed case colors built large forends and used high gloss finishes so the Parkers and Foxes could be admired in the lights!

Jim, have you been watching debate reruns? :rotf::rotf:

No, I hardly ever watch the telly unless I watch a movie. I watch a lot of comments on facebook.

That would be my grandfather. He shot trap in Vandalia OH and other places. He was quite the trap shooter. He was on Remmington's team, from what I understand.

A C Bowman from Sac City Iowa refinished many Parkers for trap shooters. Your Grandfathers gun is just fine, and will not be a colledtor, but a treasure indeed!
