New to the Group
 
Looking for information on a double barrel shotgun from my wife's family. It's damascus barrel SN 14401. Will upload pictures and would love to have as much information about it as possible.
Thank you!

An exceptional original gun. Don't let any supposed "gunsmith" touch it. Anything done to it will decrease its value.

Brian Dudley 12-17-2025 09:00 AM

What a beautiful graded lifter! Treasure it.

Dean H Hanson 12-17-2025 01:46 PM

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

WOW!!!!!

Bruce P Bruner 12-17-2025 01:57 PM

I enthusiastically agree with everyone’s thoughts. The only thing I can add is this beautiful gun was manufactured in 1879.

Andrew Sacco 12-17-2025 04:19 PM

WOW Any chance your wife's family needs more family members?? : )

That's my kind of Parker! A very nice original example. Too cool!

Sure thing, I’ll grab some photos and add them tomorrow.

Additional photos
 
Hello Scott, I know you were going to post some additional photos of your beautiful lifter, one of 265 of all barrel lengths as listed in the Parker Story. It would be great if those additional pictures included the barrel flats, the water table and the bottom of the receiver. Let us know what the barrel lengths are will narrow your gun down a little more. Oh, and one of the end of the end of the barrels, looking into the bores, will be useful too.
