Pre-1874
5 Attachment(s)
Well, I have had this gun in my possession for about 10 years, prior to that my dad for 20. He got it from his great Uncle. Yesterday I decided to get it out and have it inspected to see if it was still shootable. I got a surprise.
This Parker Bros. Makers gun is a pre-1874. Serial #1336. It has other markings that I am unsure about. Including a 11 on the barrel next to the PB logo. I was told that PBM did in fact make a 11 gauge for a very short time in the very early days, but I have no facts to back this up. I am also unsure of the markings next to the serial. F9R, again nothing to verify this. Enjoy the pics, and if you see anything that contradicts what I have been told please let me know. Also, I know this does not mean a whole lot, but the patent date is Nov. 13 1866. Thanks! |
From the picture's Robert your gun look's to be in very nice condition. Could you take some better photo,s of the lock's,stock and barrels?.....:)

Hello Robert: You have a very early underlifter Parker which is most likely a 12 bore chambered for brass shell. I have SN 1248 in it's original oak case with a number of Remington brass cases. Your's could be a eleven bore, but that would. Yours just missed the SNs in "THE BOOK". Order a letter from PGCA and if the information is available it will tell a lot more.
Best Regards, George |
