It's not a Parker...

[Jerry VanHorn]

But I couldn't resist..Found this on a small obscure web auction. No one there knew any particulars..just an estate piece..Locks marked..R. Barclays..Full Machine Made...28"M/F..Bores are mint...12G...Belgian proofs........"Gamekeepers Gun"

[Bill Murphy]

I would have bought it just so I could look at the barrels. Where has it been for the last 150 years?

[Jerry VanHorn]

The auctioneer didn't have a clue about anything. This was one of a few things a relative of the deceased owner's estate had him sell.. I have a fishtail Parker 12 that has similar laminated barrels..and bores about as good...

[Jerry VanHorn]

Looked up my paperwork. Gun was in Vermont...

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Wow that is nice , I would have bought it also.⁷

[Garry L Gordon]

Good buy. Beautiful condition. :bowdown:

[Brian Dudley]

Fantastic conditon for a gun that would usually not be found that way.

[Daryl Hallquist]

Jerry, thanks for your photos. I really like those high condition, rather low end , guns that give us a view into history and suggest how the gun might have looked when leaving the store with the first owner. Over the years I have accumulated a half dozen guns like that. Inexpensive, probably, but in high original condition.

I don't recall seeing "Choke Bore" stamped like that on the top of a barrel tube. Was that common on Belgian guns?

[Daryl Hallquist]

Choke Bored was common on Crescent and Folsom guns.

I bought a W.C. Scott that looks like that gun.
