Yup, more pictures and a confirmation on the serial number. I know what your serial number is, but you should post it.

The serial # on the barrels in your picture is 239065. This serial # is for a BHE 28 gauge with 28" barrels and a single trigger. I don' t know if the beavertail forend wood is legit but the rest look correct. NICE GUN!! Patrick. |

Yup, a very nice gun. The forend carving is identical to my AHE Trap, so I expect that the beavertail forend on this gun is original. A PGCA letter may prove all features to be original.

The forend may look small in relation to the long barrels. Great gun.

Yes Mr. Shepherd, you do indeed have a "gem" there. More appropriately though, you have a very valuable Parker shotgun.
We would like very much to see a lot more pictures of that wonderful Parker. Thanks for posting here and giving us a real treat!! |

New info with pictures - feedback welcome
thank you for all your responses. Yes, i did post the incorrect sn. Correct number is 239065, 28" barrel acme, 00 frame, all original (never restored or turned) besides recoil pad (of the era) and small plaque (from my great grandmother to great grandfather). Barrel never modified or cut. Bluing still apparent, overall condition very good. I'm posting several pics - please any feedback is welcome. I'd be interested in learning if this could truly be (1) of (13) Parker 28 gauge BHE. Also, opinions on value; i understand the bluebook but hows the market and level of interest on a gun such as this? Again, thank you all for your comments. I'm going to move forward on certification letter.
