New guy intro with an AHE!
 
Just wanted to intoduce myself to the forum. Glad you guys are here! Seems like their is a plethora of knowledge and information about these shotguns here. My Parker appears to be a AHE made in 1900 with damascus barrells. It has been in my family for a long time although we were not the first owners of the shotgun. I hope to get some good tips for preserving my Parker from the knowledge bank here. Glad to have found a site that honors such a unique American art form!!!

And the last pics. I tried to experiment with lighting a little to get slightly better clarity...I am no photographer though so you will have to bare with me.

Thanks for the pictures Matt, that's a great looking AH. You may find that if you swap your floor plate screws they may index properly.

Thank you for the tip. I will look into that. Not exactly sure what you are referring to but I am a newbie here. Any tips are greatly appreciated! Thank You.

You can go to our home page and in the left column you will see grades and there is lots of photo's of different grade Parkers, you will notice that all the screws are index front to back. I wouldn't touch them without a proper set of hollow ground screw drivers. Your gun looks to be in very nice condition.
