Parker and Smith - Pretty Good Day!
 

Picked up this Parker Trojan 12 - Still has some case coloring.... and an LC Smith both appear to have been used with care. Pretty good day!!!

Congrats! Days like this make you smile:)

That’s cool. Where did you find them?

These guns were in a shop in Central Florida - well stocked shop but their customer base has no interest in vintage doubles so we were able to get a really good deal on them....

LC Smith
 

Checkering on the LC Smith looks good....

nice guns to be proud of....charlie

What grade is the LC? The checkering is too deep for a post-1913 field grade, and the zig zag border around the lockplate is not something Ive seen before. The ebony inlay in the forend tip is also not a field grade. Maybe a 1 grade from pre-1913? Nice gun, anyway.

If no engraving other than the border a pre-13 Grade O.

Not sure about the grade... the serial is 337643. I did look at others on Guns Intl and cant find one that matches this border pattern.... seems to be a pretty good gun.

Looks like an 0 grade. Bobby

It's an "R" frame "O" grade extractor gun dated 1912---last year of production. Most-but not all had this engraving pattern. Likewise, this grade was advertised as Damascus steel tubes but could be ordered with London steel tubes.

Great finds. I am particularly fond of Parker Trojans. I've always liked them. I just bought a 16 that I'm in the process of restoring. I also am very fond of the early LC guns. Yours looks great. Congratulations.

I would guess 0 grade too.
