- - 4 shooters (https://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26964)

I bought these 4 shooter from Jerry Andrews. A DH, GHE, PH and VH. Gunbroker# 805815708 . I figured I could keep a couple and give my two brothers one each. I should get them Thursday or Friday.

Congrats Rob! If you gonna shot a shotgun make it a Parker! Most of the time it doesn't make any difference what they look like, They are built like a tank, Gary

It's nice to dance in the uplands with a pretty one once in a while to:rotf:

Looks like a great shooter

Jerry is a good guy to deal with. He has had health issues lately and I hope that clears up

Beauty is as Beauty does!

I have always like dealing with Jerry too. I figured at $625.00 per gun I could use 4 shooter grades or just keep the DH and sale the rest for what I have in each of them.

That's an unusual bird arrangement on the bottom of the DH. I don't I've ever seen 3 birds facing forward and one flying the other way.

Forgot to add a ( think ) between the don't and the I've.

The wood and the floorplate on the D grade are great. Never seen a bird arrangement like that and nicer wood than most D's.

Interesting aftermarket ejectors on the GH. Havent seen that one (with the large screws on the action flats) before.

That's another keeper!

BTW, thanks for posting theses photos.

A good deal for the price IMO!

I have some rough edges and age on me...I hope I can perform as well as that gun (and that someone will take me hunting, too!).

I got my letter today on the DH. It was ordered by Elisha Paull of Grass Valley, CA on Jan.4, 1894 and shipped on March 8, 1894. DH Hammerless 12ga with 30” Damascus. Special instructions were to put name on top rib. The price was $100.00 plus $20.00 for name on rib You can see where a name possibly was removed in front of the Info on the top rib. The DH was returned on Dec. 1, 1900 by Elisha Paull to restock and put in old shield. The price was $10.00.

Thanks Mr. Bishop for your quick service.

Congrats, that is a fun collection of shooters and the birds on that D are something. The engraver must have been having a rare day!
