Gordon Setter and Parker guns
 

Hi All,
New to the Parker World as I just found my first Parker serial # 221174
I have attached so quick photos any comments are appreciated new to the Parker Bros world and look forward to learning from all the experts here.

Me, I am a bird hunter and I raise and train Gordon Setters. I judge and compete in field trial, Akc and Am Field, hunt tests, walking and horse back trials, I collect vintage cameras maps coins photographs and now Parker’s so while I may be able to help in the afore mentioned fields I am brand new to the Parker Bros world having just bought my first, I currently based in Pittsburgh Pa,
Thank you all for your time

Nice gun Frank, I am just down the road from you in Wheeling, WVa. I currently have 3 English setters.

Thanks for the reply, hopefully I’ll run across you and your dogs in the woods and we can talk guns and dogs

Welcome, Frank. Not only is Harold close to you in Wheeling, but I am just west of you across the PA-OH state line in Columbiana, OH, just southeast of Youngstown.

And I, too, run an English Setter in the grouse woods of Northern Michigan most of the fall.

We should catch up sometime and talk dogs, Parker's, and other things of interest!

Nice Parker you have and welcome! That one is a 2 frame 12 gauge so you might be inclined to find you a nice 20 with an 0 frame to carry behind those fine Gordons! You have come to the right place to learn about Parker Brothers guns and to talk about hunting!

Thank you both, any more info I can get on my Parker is greatly appreciated and I agree next one will be a 20 ga and also maybe a 16 ga if I could be so lucky

Welcome, Frank! While I’m not close to PA, I do gun over Gordons, and have for nearly 40 years. I’d enjoy seeing some photos of your pups.

Thanks, glad to read that someone else has Gordon’s
Seems I having trouble uploading photos will try later

Welcome. Looks like you have a nice honest Trojan Grade 12-gauge.

The OV is the steel mark for Trojan Steel. The HT over A has a couple of opinions -- High Tensile Alloy or Heat Treated Annealed. The 4 is the unstruck weight of the set of barrels.

Thanks for the info, actively looking for a 16 or 20 gauge now, got the bug and so a new journey begins
