12ga GH #1 Frame Damascus Straight Stock
 

My first post since the site has been back up. As always, it’s good to be here!

I wanted to share a few pictures of a recent acquisition. It has been a while since I had a #1 Frame 12 gauge hammerless Parker. This GH is such a joy, 28” damascus barrels chocked IC/M with a straight stocked, weighs in at 6lbs. 11.4oz. In my humble opinion, everyone goes crazy over ½ frame 12s, while these #1 frame guns are almost always lighter and a great value.

Made in 1900 this is just such a great example of what Parker could do. Is there anything better than a straight stocked Parker with damascus barrels? Such a delight to carry and I have been having a little too much fun with at sporting clays. Looking forward to using it this upcoming hunting season. All I did, was have Breck Gorman refinish the barrels as all the finish was gone(it looked like it had been removed). The barrels look wonderful now.

I also wanted to mention these Fiocchi shells. They are basically a standard 20 gauge load. I was able to reach out there at some long shots. Recoil was light, but you still knew you were shooting something. I already ordered a few more cases.

Thank you,
Jay

Good Evening Jay , That's a Great looking gun ,Gotta Love those Damascus #1 Frame Barrels ! I have owned a few one frame 12 Gauges over the years and every time I buy one I spend the next six months looking for a 16 Gauge Barrel to have fit on it !!!!! I never did find a stray Barrel but I always thought it was a Great Idea ! Enjoy your new Gun ,She's a Beauty !

My first Parker was a 1 frame 12 gauge DH. Damascus barrels. This gun has led me down the Parker path to more guns and great friends. Nice looking GH.

Very nice, Breck does top notch work. Enjoy.

You got that right Jay - there truly is nothing better than a straight grip Damascus barreled Parker!!
