16 ga lifter

Here is an interesting 16 ga lifter. It is a grade 2 but has a skeleton butt plate.
It appears to be one of the guns with Parker laminated barrels.

That is a great, and rare, lifter!

Very interesting. I have a similar grade 2 10 gauge with a skeleton butt plate

The RKPG caught my eye. Sweet ! Nice wood to. Bring it to the Hoosier SxS Classic ?

A very nice one Jeff. I have No. 18719 a similar 16 gauge Lifter in grade 3 with original 27” Parker made Laminated 3 barrels. It was sent back to remove the skeleton butt plate and install a hard rubber butt plate which is checkered and engraved to look like a skeleton steel butt plate.

May we see a picture of the Lam barrel contrast on yours?

WOW Jeff, I just can't stop looking at that gun.

Nice find Jeff. I have one in the 13000 serial number range. It's either an o grade or a grade 1 I don't recall.....and it's way back in the safe to dig it out. It's an 0 frame with the lightening cuts but no SSBP thats a real nice touch.

There can't be many like this one. What a nice piece of wood, and what an extraordinary gun.

Jay Oliver 05-04-2019 06:47 PM

Very nice...I know not many were made. That is just beautiful!

Jeff Kuss 05-04-2019 07:24 PM

Dean,
There isn't much contrast. It is pretty much brown. I cleaned it with 0000 steel wool and
oil. It could use a barrel refinish at some time.
This gun is rare, but the 20 ga. parker steel barreled top lever hammer gun was even more so.

Jeff, glad I didn't bid again. That gun has a great new home. I did manage to acquire the Parker catalog from that auction. Much to my surprise, came with the order blank insert as well as the ejector announcement insert. Must admit, it was tough to let that 16 go. Least I know Ill see it next year...

Jeff Kuss 05-05-2019 02:51 PM

Thanks, Dean. That was a nice catalog.

Jeff, A great find, and very unusual! Congrats Gary
