Hi all, I'm Rob Miller, I live in Washington state and got into SxS's about 6 months ago.
I have: 1920 12g DH 1 frame 1905 16g VH 0 frame Also have: 1912 Lefever DS 20g 1913 LC Smith Ideal 12g 1915 and 1920 AH Fox A grades 12g 19?? Baker Special 12g I shoot them fairly regularly both hunting and skeet and love em all! |
Love those light frame guns, tell us more about them.

The VH was my first Parker, I was looking for a 20ga when I came across this light frame 16ga. Someone restored it at some point, good job looks nice. 28'" barrel choked Icyl/Icyl 2 3/4 chambers and it slays the clays and pheasants!
The DH I just got in on Friday, it's having a problem with a stuck safety. 28" barrel choked Mod/Full, 2 3/4 chambers |

The safety is probably rusted in place. Soak it in some solvent for a day or two. Then move it with a block of wood and a hammer. Very simple solution, if it works. Make sure you pound it in the right direction.

Jim Dispagno made a good point that because it's not the original stock, it might be binding when the 2 screws are tightened up. I think that is what it will end up being, I'll verify after work and report back.

What part of Washington State? I'm 19 miles east-northeast of Spokane, almost in Idaho.

I’m in possession of 2 Parker’s my father in law gave me trying to find out values of shotguns were do I start

The last one is a Parker Trojan that has been buffed pretty robustly. Probably a good shooter.
The first gun is extremely nice but I can’t identify it. I’m sure others here will be able to. . |
The first gun appears to be made by Simpson & Co if I read the barrel marking correctly. I've had a few of those over the years, of various grades, and yours appears to be a higher grade gun. Truly an heirloom to be proud of.

Solvent>??

If you plan to "soak" any part of it in a solvent you should make certain no solvent comes into contact with any of the wood finish. . |

That simpson is a nice gun! Someone blued the frame at one point, but nonetheless beautiful. I have an Emil Kerner that is very comparable to it. Do you know if it has any Merkel markings on it? As in the barreled action supplied by Merkel?

I just posted a new thread under new members with pictures. I would guess it has been in the dirt for 80 years or so.... It's a wall hanger for sure but I would still like to get it open. |
Welcome and howdy
Hi Robert saw you’re in Tacoma. I’m down I-5 a piece in Chehalis. Maybe we can have a Parker picnic in Western Washington as this COVID fades and the weather warms this summer.
Welcome, Francis Marshall |
