those sure are some good lookin parkers... thanks bruce charlie

The wood on that last one is just breath taking.... to say the least!!

Thanks Bruce. I never tire of Robert Runge's engraving.

You are quite welcome. I have been very fortunate to find some nice Parkers over the years and still more fortunate to have great friends who have helped and guided along the way.
The little damascus 20 came from Jack Puglisi, and before that, from the long time collection of Bill Wheeler. Jack suggested we look at several guns and was very fair in pricing. Jack is missed.
The Rem Parker 12 came from Herschel Chadick, who could not have been more accurate and straightforward in his dealings with me.

The second place prize in two cases of RST shells-your choice of what shells you want. Having shot with you, you can definitely use the shells for some practice!:rotf:

Is that a new acquisition Bruce?

Nice! I really like that stock.

It does have some of the nicer Parker wood I have seen. Too bad it has a pad instead of the original skeleton butt. My guess a pad was put on sometime in the 1920's. I kept the old red and black sponge pad.

I obtained the gun about ten years ago from our British Columbia member Ron Granger.

This gun has a matching 16ga but I have never been able to find it.

One of two known. For the person who likes unusual details, this one is a 1910 gun but has the characteristics of one made about 1900, such as a thin comb nose and plain grip cap. Next, it has the 1905 soldered angled bolt plate without side channels.

All visible and hidden numbers match.

I am fortunate to own this gun and grateful to a long time friend for the opportunity.
