Hello everyone,
I have an unexpected new piece for my collection. Parkers seem to be coming out of the woodwork lately- much to my delight. Today I acquired what was described as an "entry level" Parker, which was very amusing to me when I heard it put that way. It's a 12 gauge, Vulcan Steel, Grade 0, 1904.
It definitely doesn't have any frills, but it's endearing none-the-less. However, there are a couple of things that I've not seen before and I've no doubt that the knowledge base on this sight will know what's what about it. The buttplate is unfamiliar to me, and the marks on the lug are strange. It's a fun piece, if nothing else, for an entry level
Thank you in advance!
