16ga hammergun 2bbl set
 

I was at a local gun club 2 weeks ago and the subject of Parkers came up. A friend mentioned that he had a hammergun and he would bring it to the club the next week. He said it was in good condition. Now most time people tell me that, when I actually get to look at the gun, it's in poor to wall hanger condition but not in this case.

He brought out a 1890 Quality L (grade1) 16ga hammergun 2 barrel set on a 0 frame. The condition of the gun is excellent with much case colors and tight as a drum. The original set of barrels are 32" laminated and the second set are 26" twist. Most of the pattern is still excellent and the bores are spotless.

Too bad he's not interested in selling but I'll keep working on him!

Wow ! How nice is that !!!!!!!!!!! This is the fun in these old guns ,You just never know what you might find , good luck with twisting his arm Chuck !

I'll work on him Chuck:)....but I will have to keep the gun:rotf:

Dang. Is that sweet or what.

That's a dandy for sure!.... :envy:

Chuck, what do the order book entries look like?

We need a new "drooling" icon.

Angel -> for 16 bore hammer guns - it could just be a picture of you :rotf:

that one is great

Angel, at last count how many do you keep in your managerie?

Just three, in a moment of stupidity I sold one. Oh plus the Ithica.

Yeah, I sold one too..... :crying:

Yeah you did, and we did'nt get a crack at it...:cuss:

Damn Chuck, I gotta shoot with you more often. Maybe both of us working on him would have turned the tide.

Bill, the gun was originally sold to E.K. Tryon Jr. and Sons in 1890, then returned for the second set of barrels by P.F. Foley in Elmira NY in 1902.

Daryl, we could make him an offer he can't refuse!

Let's do it!

just wondering - a quick look at a twin tiers ( that part of NY and adjacent PA ) genealogy site, it shows a Patrick F Foley as a partner in a book, stationary and wallpaper?? dealer

I believe that goes both ways Angel, I don't recall seeing you selling a 16ga hammergun even though I know what you sold:whistle:

Damn..busted!! But at least it was not the one you like.

Angel, let me know if you want to part with that 32" just kidding Gary

Remember, The C.O.B. knows all:whistle:
