Parker 34” barrels
 

This morning I was looking through a 1914 Breeder and Sportsman magazine and saw this add, I though you guys would like to see it.

Lets hear more about that "extreme simplicity" of the Parker Gun!!

I'm holding on to a straight grip 34 inch DHE for a friend and I'm amazed at how lively it is. I shot it on a grouse walk course this summer:eek: and did pretty well with it.

My grandfather bought a 34" DHE pigeon gun in 1916 for trap shooting. It's high stocked but he decided to also use it for pass shooting along the Hudson River. I took it to Sasketachewan with me every year for pass shooting geese. It is indeed a lively gun and perfectly balanced. It has no safety. It patterns #4's perfectly and I have taken tons of geese with that gun and the old 12 bore pigeon load. White fronts were my favorite to eat and I pretty much shot them exclusively although there were myriads of Canada's, lesser Canada's, snow geese both white and blue color phases and the pretty little Ross geese. My area of Sasketachewan is the staging area for geese flying south. The size of the flocks are incredible.

The "Gold Hearts Gun" is the only 34" gun in my rack, but it is very lively also.

1 of my old 8 ga parker would have 34 inch barrels if somebody had of left that last 2 inches of barrel they cut off....charlie

What is a "gold hearts gun" Bill? Did your bride give it to you for a wedding gift?

No, Annie Oakley gave it to him the first time they met. ;)
