Not in the book, sorry.

Thanks for checking I bought it anyway the gun is a 36 inch barreled hammer gun

tell us something about this long tom...charlie

Hi Charlie,
Well I happened to be at a antique show today and there it was. It is a grade zero twist barreled Parker, it is a number 1 frame hammer gun with fishtails top lever the barrel are 4lbs 9 oc struck and measure 36 inches.

What gauge please?

Sorry dean it is 12 gauge

Wow! A 36" barreled 12 ga. on a 1-frame... very scarce configuration.

I was pretty pleased when I ran across it.

you lucky fellow...i bet shes still in shooting shape too....you gotta take her dove hunting for sure.... charlie

I wouldn't have a problem shooting it in the condition it is in. It just needs a little cleaning up. My local club does not allow hammer guns at the trap range so I will have to wait till I get some time in the field.

Ken

ken why do they not allow hammer guns..... charlie

THe guys in charge believe there is a safety issue. I've tried to change there minds but they have issues with the kids that are new with shooting.

Don't they all have hammers? Some are inside and some aren't.

A #1 frame 12 with 36" barrels! Please post pictures. You hit a home run with that one. It's a shame the people in charge of range safety know so little about shotguns.

Here is a picture with my daughters cat getting into the mix.

Ken: You hit a home run for sure. I was curious if the people you bought it from had some history on this looooong Parker. Thomas

Nice find Ken, Congratulations! You just gotta get a letter on that gun!

No history to speak of. I just checked to see if my shotgun can be researched and it can so I will be sending for a letter tomorrow!

Ken

Ken, Please share it with us when it arrives...:)

will do:)

Thats a keeper. Thanks for sharing. Very cool.
What does she weigh? I am sorry to hear about your trap ranges rules. Their loss.

John,
I do not have a very accurate scale, but the barrel weight shows 4# 9oc.

I believe they have had a misshap at the range before, probably not pulling the hammers back all the way and firing off a round before they were ready.

Ken

Here is a photo of the letter recieved from Mark Conrad, Thanks Mark!

Very interesting- this gun was in the same shipment as this year's raffle gun! Ordered and shipped on the same dates!

Rumor has it that that order was a large order and there was around thirty similar guns like mine in that order.
