Parker SN130293
Hello "TenBrook": On this forum we use our real names. Your friend's Parker SN 130293 is in the "Book" as a 12 Gauge V Grade made in 1905. It lists as a hammerless gun with capped pistolgrip stock, no extras (so it is an extractor gun) with 30 inch barrels. On the top rib sould read "Parker Bros. Makers Meridan, Conn U.S.A. Vulcan Steel". You have a nice old Parker with fluid steel barrels. Have a competent gunsmith check it over and order a letter from PGCA ($60 for non-members & $40 for members) If OKd by the smith shoot it all day with low brass skeet & target loads (no steel shot or magnums please).
Best Regards, George
