Parker ID help needed
 

Hi,

I don't yet have the Parker book. Can someone help with the original configuration of this Parker? I understand it was engraved by Franz Martkl.

Thanks.

28 gauge VH with capped pistol grip and 26" barrels.

It was a VH 28 with 26 inch barrels and capped pistolgrip.

Edit:
OOPS, I'm a slow typer. Sorry, Harry.

Nice looking little 28!

Good looking engraving

Let us see more of the Parker.

It sure is pretty so far. I would love to see more

Thanks all for the comments and help. Gun was restocked, very nice job but I am not too fond of the forearm nor certain parts of the wood work. I have found the original stock and now trying to find the forearm. Problem is that a family member has the pieces and can't remember where he put them.... ;-). I will post pics after its found..

Also, I spelled the engravers name wrong it was Franz Marktl. I know for the purist, I guess the gun has been destroyed.. Oh well should make a fun upland companion.


Curious, does the book say how it's choked?

No, but a letter may shed some light on the chokes/patterns.

Hey Kev;
Is that the Eckmeyer gun? If it is I seem to remember it being sk/ic. I remember Bill bringing the gun into Howard Donahue's gun shop in the 70's. He had that little setter which he loved to hunt quail with (back when we had quail to hunt around here). I think he had the gun choked for that. Either way bring it and I'll measure it for you.

It is but fortunately I now know we have all the original parts to bring it back to close to original configuration as I can sans the engraving which personally I do like. As you know from my comments to you before, I really didn't like it with the miller trigger and stock work.
