Hello all. I joined this forum several years ago and posted some pictures of my inherited Parker, but it appears my thread was lost when the forum moved servers.

I live in Knoxville, TN and have inherited a Parker G grade 12 gauge from my grandfather. Based on the serial number it was made in 1906, and it also has Damascus barrels. I recall that some one mentioned the stock was not original in my previous thread. I have not requested a letter yet, but it is on my todo list.

My main question is whether there is a knowledgable Damascus gunsmith in East Tennessee who could evaluate my shotgun and let me know the soundness of it.

Since we all love photos, I have attached several below. If anyone would like to fill me in on the barrel markings or any other details, I would very much appreciate it. I know the 3-15 means 3 lb, 15 oz barrels, and the 1 1/2 indicates frame size, but I am not sure about the others. Sorry if any of the photos are unclear, I am not a photographer.

Thanks!
