Family Heirloom - Parker DH?
 

Hello all,

I am trying to help my dad identify two shotguns that he recently inherited from his father. I would be very grateful for some help from the experts (relative to me, anyway) identifying this shotgun and understanding if/how it is unique, as well as what it may be worth.

The S/N stamped on all 3 pieces of the gun is 212399. I believe this is a hammerless Parker DH Grade 3, with a Titanic Steel barrel, manufactured in 1925. I don't know what the T with the circle, the HT A in the triangle pattern, the 4 superscript 4, the J.G. in the circle, or the 12, 2, or 3 markings mean. Picture of all the important parts are below.

Please note that (speaking on behalf of my dad), we are not interested in selling the shotguns, and I am definitely not trying to use this website as a platform to peddle a family heirloom!

Thanks so much in advance for any expertise you are willing to share about this shotgun.

Kind Regards,
Nathan

Wow. Just wow.

Very nice DH"E".

Very nice DHE 34 inch straight grip

Serialization has this listed as a 2 barrel set Do you have the other set ? Nice gun for sure ,your forend picture has a 1 on it so it goes to that set is there a 1 on the barrel
as well ?

What’s not to like? Nice original long barrel straight grip Parker!

Whoa! That's got my attention. I like the character of the aged and somewhat flattened pad. I like it all. Nice gun Nathan. That's a keeper. Congrats.

Interesting!

I'll have to ask my dad about a possible second set of barrels. But I think he would have mentioned that, so I'm guessing, "no."

Wow!!!! You'd spend a lifetime looking for another one like that.

Randy, I knew that one would get your attention. I saw that 1 on the fore end and was hoping for a look at the #2 barrels and fore end. Nathan, that gun is a knockout!!! The engraving is still so sharp and defined.
