Maybe the bwsr GB offering ever!!!
 

GB number 846501860,

Please dont get in a fist fight over this fine gun.

"We are not familiar with Parker Bros. shotguns "


ya think

Well it says Parker on it and you "can place your bid with confidence".

Came from the small estate of the Parker Brothers up in Bacon Hollow, noted moonshiners. One shotgun, single shot Parker Bros. .22, one fishing rod (Zebco 33, also marked Parker Bros.), one blind in one eye champion coon dog, two cast iron skillets, one feather tick, two chairs, one table. All sold as is.

Wow!... now I think I have seen it all.

Checking TPS to date the engraving...

Imagine that being your first introduction to Parker Bros shotguns. I’m wondering if that’s the same shop that sold Bradley his nickel plated AAHE for a song?

Well they certainly spent time and effort on the photo shoot. What’s the saying about lipstick on a pig?

Actually a : PARKER. BRO6.

Holy cow

My favorite part is the top rib inscription, if that's what you can call it.

I contacted the seller to advise him as to what the gun was and wasn't. He thanked me and I see he did update the listing.

Wow! I would have bet money on him arguing with you

This is how it started; a 1919 Hunter Arms Fulton tradename gun, prior to the very classy embellishments. The Manhattan Arms guns were marked "Superior Quality" and "For Nitro Powder"

I know. And I told him that believe me or not, the gun is what it is. A Fulton that someone stamped up as a Parker. For some reason.

He was very nice and thankful to get any info that he could on the gun.

Must have been when they were trying to economize by combining name engraving with grade designation.

Most Parker fakeup guns with logos by cold chisel have been .410 Crescent or similar guns. If you're going the cold chisel route to make a Parker, it might as well be a .410. I have also seen .410 Crescents made into L.C. Smiths, more proper since the Smith is a sidelock like a Crescent.

good news he was nice about it

but he could have looked at any of the dozens of Parkers on GB and known right away

Has the original Parker Bros flying goose recoil pad too. Hope this guy doesnt make counterfeit bills. LOL
