Fishtail
 

I am fairly new to the Parker scene. Last year I bought my first one and have been looking for the second one every since. Recently there was a 10ga for sale on this site and I hesitated to long and someone else bought it. It had a fishtail lever. I hadnt even paid attention to the 12ga i bought earlier this year and sure enough its a fishtail 12 ga hammer.

This is a great website, I have learned much about these great guns. Are the fistails more common or more rare?

You poor soul, run run like the wind the first sympton is thinking about your next Parker. Oh there's still a fishtail 10 for sale. Fishtails are around always a nice touch in my bakards opinion. How about some picts. of your hammergun. best ch

Above is a couple images of my gun. Its nothing special really, just an old 12ga hammer. I took it trap shooting last year.

Matt,
Nice looking Parker. What kind of decoys are those on the shelf?:)

Thanks, those are called Turov Horses. My girlfriend collects thoses. They sell them at keenland and also I think you can find them on ebay.

Larry, those aren't decoys, they're plinking targets

Matt,

One of the best things about the Parker Forum is that you do not have to use image hosting sites to post pictures. You can just attach like in an E-mail. Unless you already knew.

Thanks, I must have been having a brain freeze. I was using the quick reply instead of using the "reply to thread" and the quick reply doesnt allow you to attach immages.

On my computer screen it looks like your hammer gun has nice surviving case color on the side plates. Nice Parker.

well thanks, not much color left though. its a low grade parrker but it was my first purchase and knowing a little more about them now, then when i first purchased it i didnt to to bad. Recently i hung it above our mantle. I like to think that it may have hung above someone elses mantle back in the the late 1800`s
