That’s a nice looking lifter. The barrels seem to be in great shape. Could you post pics of the stock and forend? Do you have any other history on the gun?

Add pics of the stock. Came from Massachusetts from my wife's grandfather. He got it from a $7 debt during the great depression.

These very early 4-digit serialized Parkers are extremely difficult to identify in regard to dollar-quality or grade is concerned.
Previously I had suggested the gun was the equivalent of a grade-0 but certainly no higher than the equivalent of a grade-1.
Now that we see the checkering pattern of the forend, which is clearly the three-point or “bow tie” pattern, the gun, in my opinion, is in fact a predecessor of the grade-2.

Looks like your gun has aged gracefully, Eric. Many of us love to shoot and hunt with our hammer guns.

nothing closes together like a early lifter....I m awed every time I close one of mine....charlie

I need to replace the right firing pin spring. Found one on ebay for a #1 12 G firing spring #D545 and was wonder if it would work?

There are members on this site who make new firing pins and springs for lifters. They would be a better bet than a used pin or spring that is 100+ years old.

What would be the best way to find a member that has firing pin spring for sale?

Thanks,
Eric
