My grandfather left to me this Parker Brothers 1903 Double Barrel 'Damascus Steel' Grade GH 12 GA Shotgun with 30" barrel. This firearm carries the serial no. 117684.

I am interested in obtaining some feedback from the knowledgeable members of this forum about both the condition and the market value of this particular shotgum.

If any additional photographs or information would be helpful, please let me know what you need.

Thanks in advance for any information anyone cares to provide.

You are one lucky fellow!!! Thats one Great Parker. It's a 1903 gun. How about some closeups of the engraving. Again do you know how blessed you are. Best ch You should join and get a better deal on you letter. Find out more about it. Oh get some good screwdrivers and fix the screws. If you fell you have the ability. Is that a 1 1/2 on barrel lug. What's on the buttplate a dog with woodcock?

looks to be a very nice gun, are the bores as clean as the rest of it?

Robert P. Smith 04-27-2012 10:20 PM

Rick,

Yes, the bores are immaculate.

Fishtail: Thanks for the correction re. the date of manufacture.

Robert, if you post more pictures, don't use a white background. Use a neutral or darker background so we can see the details of your gun better.

Steve: after reading your comment, I took a close look and the rear trigger is fine. It operates normally.

Ed: I suppose I was his favorite -- I was his only grandson.
