I am curious how many other ph guns have laminated instead of twist?
It probably is one of the latest laminated ph's.

Where that one is listed as a PT and not a L1 (which it in fact is) we may never know the exact number of Grade 1 hammerless Parkers made with Laminated Steel barrels. Twist Steel barrels are what was used for composit barrels. The Parker Steel fluid steel barrels was, to the best of my knowledge, the only other barrel steel used on the Grade 1 hammerless guns. I haven't looked but The Parker Story may list some with Laminated Steel barrels. What does the top rib legend say about the barrel steel on this one?

The legend has the word laminated written on it. This was an ebay gun sold in seperate pieces. When I looked up the number in serialization book and it was listed as twist, I was not sure the pieces were number matching. But they are. Now the only thing not original to the gun will be the stock if we can find one to fit. The stock heads are shaped differently, early verses later production.

Lost Parker barrels 87131 They will be Bernard and thirty inches in length. 30"

Thank you.

David and Dean, the "authors" put a note in the Grade 1 section about Laminated Steel barrels listed in the stock books as PT grade. In the Grade 1 20 gauge Twist section, they noted that 20 twenty gauge Laminated Steel guns were listed as PT but noted in the stock books as having Laminated Steel barrels. I found this note after adding one of these Laminated Steel guns to my collection a few years ago. My gun is an all original very early 20 gauge in the 70s, a sweet gun with pits in the bores. The rib legend is "Laminated Steel".

Thanks Bill - that's some good detective work.

You must mean in the 70000 serial number range and not 1870. Thanks for the imput. Dave

Right, there were no hammerless Parkers in the 1870's.

Yes, my little baby is in the 70,000 series, made in 1892. According to the SB, it is a real early hammerless 20. 71,179 was ordered January 15, 1892 by Salem G. LeValley in Buffalo, NY. It is a PH 20, 28" barrels bored full and full. By 1915, it was in Salisbury, MD and was sent back for a restock. It was still in Maryland when I found it. LeValley was a gun and sporting goods dealer in Buffalo, died in 1903 at age 61.

Bill and Dean, You guys are obviously in an area where more parkers exist then I am. And you also have a lot more time involved. So, how often do you see a hammerless laminated gun? Looking in the serialization book shows very few small bore laminated of any type parker. Dave

This is the first one I have ever seen, smallbore or not smallbore. No one is in a hotbed of Parkers unless they use the internet or go to some good gun shows. You have to get out there.

Bill's right - ther're where you find them but you have to get out there and look. The Internet (Thank you Al Gore) is my first resource and word of mouth is a close second. This is the first Laminated Steel barreled hammerless that I've ever heard of too.

Hoping to locate 10 Gauge 26 inch Plain twist barrels for a lifter # 25192 . May also be wearing order number 21140 . These should be 3 lug check hook barrels, 2 frame.

Searching for 16 gauge 0 frame Titanic Steel barrels (letter did not specify length when sent back for rebarreling in 1901). The SN of the gun is 88653.

Purchased SN 159224 Gun has been restocked. Looking for original butt stock. 16 ga. 1 frame. Thank you. Mark

The 10 gauge Titanic barrels I have are 30". Unfortunately, they are not for sale except to the owner of the original gun. They now live on a little BH gun awaiting restocking.

Just a suggestion here. When you buy or look at a new Parker that is missing original parts, do a search on the serial number to see if something is on this site that would interest you. That should be the way this thread works. I have some numbers to post in the next few days. Maybe those of you with orphan parts could post serial numbers for us to search. Remember, separate the numbers from all surrounding words, numbers, and punctuation so the search function will identify the number.

I just took in a bunch of forends and some buttstocks from a local gentleman that has had them for many years. Some forends are complete and some are wood with just tip. I guess many of them came from a local gun shop that was putting BTFEs on Parker's and they were just tossing the splinter wood with tip in a drawer.

Here is what I have for the time being that I can identify.

I have a parker VH grade, 20 gauge made in 1905. serial numbers 131466. i am missing triggers, trigger mechanism, trigger plate, cocking slide,trip pin, and trigger guard.

To add to my last post, i am also missing skeleton butt plate with spurs with same serial numbers and the frame is a #1. parts where thrown away by my great grandmother when my great uncle left the gun on the table to clean. hope that the parts somehow were found by somebody or somehow survived these ruff years and hope that somebody has them. if anybody has something close to this type of grade and gun or even have these parts, i would buy them off your hands if you are willing to sell them :)

Wyatt, it isn't likely your gun had a skeleton butt plate. More likely it had the hard rubber butt plate, and a reproduction is available from Galazan

Looking for barrels for VH No 115060
It's a 2 frame gun. Or any set will be fine. I have the complete action and forend. Want to put it back together.

In search of Parker 16 gauge GH serial # 53944
 

Looking for a very specific Parker 16 gauge GH shotgun, serial # 53944. There is family history with this gun from new, and I'd like to acquire it. If you know it's whereabouts please contact me at grady2go@gmail.com.

Thanks

In search of Parker 12 gauge barrels serial # 49675
 

Looking to reunite an original Parker shotgun purchased by my great-grandfather in 1887 with its 2nd barrel set that was lost/misplaced before 1960. The original gun was purchased in 1887 and is in my possession. The 2nd barrel set was made in 1890 (cylinder and light) and most likely has the same serial number as the gun, # 49675. This barrel may or may not have a "2" at the end indicating they are a second set of barrels.

I am interested in purchasing this missing barrel set and can be contacted at grady2go@gmail.com should you know its whereabouts.

Thanks

I recently acquired a set of 20 ga. Titanic barrels bearing serial # 190708. If any of you guys have the gun, let me know and we'll put the two back together. No forearm or iron, just the barrels. Thanks.

I have a VH 16 s/n 158321 . The gun letters to a large store in St Paul, MN. I bought the gun about 20 years ago from a dealer in Minnesota. It has a VH fore end on it with s/n 204898 which fits perfectly and works the same. The gun itself has almost no finish on it. It is bright silver from use and the wood and checkering are equally well overused. The fore end looks like it might be from a 12 ga (1 1/2 frame) VH. When I talked to the dealer about it he had no idea about what had happened. I would like to find the original for my VH and re-unite my fore end with its gun.

You fellows keep forgetting that your serial number is not available on a "SEARCH" if you put punctuation or other letters next to your serial numbers in your post. As this thread gets longer, fewer people will read the whole thread to locate their parts. The search function will be the only way for them to locate parts. SEPARATE YOUR SERIAL NUMBERS FROM THE REST OF YOUR POST.

Bill are you willing to reunite those Damascus 16 ga barrels to my A grade. I don't care if the numbers don't match just so the gun carries the 30" barrels it was born with..

DH barrel and forearm
 

I picked up a very nice set of 12 ga. DH damascus barrels and forearm at a gun show last winter. The serial is 82813 . They are 30" with perfect bores and good pattern/color. The fore end wood is above average and the engraving very crisp.

Is anyone looking for this set or does anyone have the rest of the gun for sale? I am only interested in getting these gun parts reunited and do not wish to sell individually.

Eric, when you get those barrels, you will be getting the whole enchilada, a nice little Damascus GHE O frame with three sets of barrels.
