Quality A Hammer Gun
 

How rare is a Quality A Hammer Gun 12 gauge shipped in 1893? Any help is appreciated.

Not many. If you go page by page through the Identification and Serialization Book , you will be able count them and find serial numbers.

Thank you, I am trying to find out the possible value of the gun. I do have a letter from Parker Bros.

It appears this gun was sent to many shows.

1 of 9 in 12ga. Very valuable gun and it should be professionally appraised. A gun like that needs a qualified person very knowledgeable in all things Parker. You should contact Josh Loewensteiner at Lion Stone Consulting. I own two AH Parkers that were in the 1897 Madison Sq. Garden Show, I have pictures of the display and did a DBJ article on the 1897 MSG and 1898 Boston Show. If your interested PM me.

Thank you for that information. It's very interesting and I will follow up with your lead.

We would love to see pictures of this rare gun. I have a 10 gauge BH grade gun that was displayed at the 1893 Columbian Exposition, World's Fair.

Here are some pics I have.

Very Nice,

If that gun could tell stories, sounds like it has traveled many places.

Interesting gun for sure, that one would check most every box!:envy:

Very neat gun, it looks like it has suffered some from poor storage. Go to the Parker home page and open "Parker Grades" page down to AH grade 6 and click on "Top Leveler Hammer Guns" to see what nice condition examples look like. Craig
