So what did you add to Your Parker collection in 2022?
 
I know the year is still not over but I ask this every year. I added only one Parker, a 12ga Grade 1 TLH gun 30" with Laminate barrels. Sold 4 Parkers and two Elsies to fund the purchase of two Foxes (an XE and early style BE)and 5 Lefevers (C,DE,G,H and F)and one Elsie (Special A-1). OK so I find all the American SxS's interesting. How about you?

Let’s see and I won’t guarantee I don’t forget something . At Sanford a Grade 0 top lever 10 gauge 3 frame with 32” and a VHE 16 skeet with all the add ons . At Hausemanns a Grade 2 top lever 10 that had been restocked with about modern trap dimensions , gun also has an extra set of Belgium fluid steel 32” 3 1/2” chambers with Briley screw ins . Bought an Fox HE in august but it’s left the house already . In October I picked up a Fox 30” pin gun . Oh yeah somewhere in their I got a decent Remington Model 32TC 30” . Then in November I picked up a very nice circa 1918 DH 10 gauge 32” 3 frame with better stock dimensions and that same day I acquired a VH 20 gauge 0 frame 32” I’d sort of been after for almost two years . I won’t say that’s all for 2022 but I hope so , I have liquidated a bunch this year with a bunch more to go . Cleaning house cuts down on the stuff you need to work on !

Craig send the 20 gauges my way! I say that because I know you are a 12 guy! And a 10 & 8!

I added a 32" DHE, a 28" GHE, a 32" Fox AE and a high condition Lefever G grade, all 20s of course!

I moved a few out as well as my limit is way below 30!

Gary Carmichael Sr 12-06-2022 10:36 AM

Well I added a CHE 20ga 2 brl set 30" and 26" special order with no dolls head and all scroll engraving, and another old hammer gun, something about the hammer guns by Bros Parker, Gary

Joseph Sheerin 12-06-2022 10:43 AM

Picked up a nice 20ga Trojan DOM 1929. Killed a fat Missouri Tom with it in April. :D

David Noble 12-06-2022 01:53 PM

Parker PH 16ga 26" Cyl/Full with Titanic barrels and D grade stock, both factory installed.

Parker Top lever hammer gun converted to hammerless, 12ga 28" Mod/Full

Winchester Model 21 12ga 28" Mod/Full

John Albano 12-07-2022 10:14 AM

I bought my first Parker. It is a 1905 DH 20 with 28 inch barrels. It lives in my safe with several Fox guns. I sold several guns to try and reduce my collection. I keep falling off the wagon and something else will slip in. John

randall rosenthal 12-07-2022 10:20 AM

Bill, you probably already know this gun but here is the letter on it.
I do not have the original 12ga barrels unfortunately.

Mike Koneski 12-07-2022 04:17 PM

I picked up a 20g lifter in Vegas back in January, a 12g VH single trigger 28" in May and a few other that were used as project guns. I have an 8 bore PH coming this winter and a super special project that I'll unveil when it's finished. Trust me, it is very cool. :cool: :bowdown:

Started in on some custom .22 center-fire wildcats this year and some vintage single shot rifles too. Let's just say I have plenty to occupy my time this winter. :whistle:

Loren Tillett 12-11-2022 09:54 PM

Here are my 2…
 
I added a 1929 Grade 0 20 ga. Very nicely maintained. Found it in a little shop in eastern VA. Sweet shooter. Dusted some clays this past week with it. Moved a 1947 Marlin 30/30 and a Franci 12 and a Glock to get it. Then could not help myself and just took delivery on an 1889 Grade 2 12 ga. Damascus. 32” barrels. Also nicely maintained. The word is out. South Dakota pheasants are headed for the Black Hills next Oct.

Loren Tillett 12-11-2022 10:00 PM

Oh, and just for fun I spent lunch money on a 16 ga. St Etienne. I know. Guild gun. But dang it shoots nice. Clean. Tight. SxS is a disease I’ve always had. Can’t find much info on the dates of manufacture, but a handsome little tart nonetheless. Anyone know anything about these?

I added this 1891 2 grade 10. Oh yeah, a repro DHE 28, a first year Fox A Grade 12, a 1891 Smith12, a Remington 1894 12, a first year SS, ST BE 16 Fox, an American Arms 410 hammer. Too many for more pics. I'm forgetting something, but I need to stop. I have the sickness!

Scott Hornacek 12-14-2022 08:40 PM

30” Grade 3 hammer gun and a 32” LC Smith 20ga field grade.

Dean Romig 12-14-2022 09:00 PM

Nothing this year... nothing really tickled my fancy. Saw a lot of nice Parkers for sale but didn't NEED any of them badly enough.

NEED left the equation forty years ago for just about all of us . I think WANT is the better word to use :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Dean Romig 12-14-2022 09:41 PM

WANT doesn't really get it done anymore. Need is the result of several unfulfilled wants...

charlie cleveland 12-15-2022 11:42 AM

only added some more parker brothers 10 ga brass and Nichol plated shotgun shells.....charlie

Garry L Gordon 12-15-2022 03:51 PM

I was fortunate enough to become the caretaker for an AHE 12 gauge two-barrel set (one of the set being Damascus), a BHE 16 (with Damascus barrels), and a Holland & Holland hammer gun with 28 gauge and .410 barrels. The year is not over, and the good wife is softening up on a potential lifter. Fingers crossed...

I like your style Jim! Has your XE been restored, or is it a closet queen?

Jim McKee 12-18-2022 03:46 PM

Chris,
It appears the wood has been refinished but the metal appears original ??

I always come in at the end of these conversations for some reason and with today being so cold and I am just sitting around I thought I would post this one ! I sold a few and bought a couple but this one is a Keeper ! I shoot it well and Love the Late Remington era guns so I couldn't resist it ! I purchased it from an Older Gentleman on line that explained to me he bought it years ago " early Seventies and had stayed in business longer than the buyers had stayed alive and that when I purchased the gun it was actually the third time he had sold it ! When he initially bought it ,it had the case and has been sold each time with the case included which is Stamped Parker Co. Gun Works ,which I think is a Great Accessory to the gun !It is a VHE , 1/2 Frame 12 Gauge in Fairly high condition and according to the latest list of Half Frame guns that I have seen it is the Latest in the Serial Number Range ! It's a bit unique as it has an extra touch of engraving on the bottom of the receiver so it must have been a Friday Afternoon Finish gun ,it is as it letters with one exception ,the Letter says Full and Full and the Barrels are Stamper Mod and Full ! I feel quite fortunate to have snatched this one up !

Dean Romig 12-24-2022 03:28 PM

Russ, is that a buck's head or buck's antlers?





.

Russ Jackson 12-24-2022 03:51 PM

You know Dean , the first thing I thought of when I actually had it in hand was Buck Antlers !!! I sent for the letter immediately hoping something about the extra engraving and also the case would be mentioned ! Of course with the IBM cards I really didn't expect it and as you can see by the letter neither was touched on so I guess we will never know for sure !

Mills Morrison 12-24-2022 06:11 PM

Nice find Russ! A 1/2 frame is on my long term list
