Default Common Parker

Here is a very common type of Parker, they made about 18,000 of them and I think they were the gun that did the most to make the Parker gun famous. Its a 2 frame, 30" damascus barreled GH, this one has ejectors and weighs 7 1/2 lbs. They shoot well and I have used this one for late season pheasant as well as ducks and geese with heavier loads. They are great shooting and handling guns and are available with a little searching.

Its in an A&F vc case. I'm not sure the gun has ever been apart, I have only cleaned it, had Dale Edmonds redo the dark barrels and cleaned up the finish and rubbed a new topcoat in. Its a Canadian gun, sold new in Vancouver and spent most of its life on the eastern slope.

If a person wants a nice Parker, I sure wouldn't pass up a nice GH.
