Welcome William,
You may wish to contact Chris Dawe, if you on't know him already. He lives in Newfoundland and does some pretty impressive work on Parkers for a number of members here in the States. |

I've known Chris for a little over 3 years now and he has worked on several of my double guns in that time. I've also had the pleasure of tagging along on a couple hunts with Chris. We were actually talking about this Parker yesterday. We live only about a 30 minute drive from each other, and yes, he does some great work!

Just two quick shots, sorry for the quality, will post better detailed pictures when I get the chance. Most exposed metal was covered with crud and light surface rust, cleaned up very good, leaving a nice patina. Barrels show lots of pattern remaining, do have several dents and pitting in bores, with a slightly loose bottom rib. Wood shows use and damage. Buttstock is cracked in several areas (head, tangs). Hammer's still have plently of tension, very firm and crisp! Action is a little loose, but a couple of shims have temporarily tightened things up. These pictures don't do it justice, (as said, will post better ones) really pleased with how well the metal cleaned up. (hoppes oil and some extra fine steel wood) I don't think she looks too bad for 139 years old!

Those firing pin springs are ofter broken on these old guns. Easy fix. The loose rib is a bigger problem. I believe that it must be removed and re-soldered. There are people on this site who can tell you the best smith to do the job. David

Having a rib fixed properly is very expensive. More than the value of the gun. JMHO
