Default New Guy with Parker SN# 133420

I am new to this forum. I joined because I was recently handed down a Parker shotgun. Pretty sure its a 12 guage from 1905. Stock is blackened from gun grease. One foren screw that is real obvious cause its rught under the lever to break the action. No rust inside or out. I cant wait to photograph it so the club can value it and tell me the first steps to repairing the blackened stock. S#133420, Frame size 2, Grade V Barrel weight 4.3. Does it sound like a typical Parker?

Welcome!

Please do post good photos of your gun. We would not be able to tell you much as to condition, value or best route for repairing the trouble areas without seeing it.

Look forward to seeing it.

DSC03565.jpgI have attached 9 photos of my Parker S#133420. I see someone typed something about a letter for me. What the heck does that mean? If anyone has any insights to the difficulty (and cost) of bringin her back to her original glory I would love to hear it. I can't really tell if it was a duck gun, trap or anything else.

The Parker Association has factory records and by your serial number they can tell you quit a bit about your Parker
As you sign in on here on the left there is a list
I checked and they do have information about your Parker
If it is special to you and you don’t mind spending $$$ go ahead and refinish it
But by the looks it will be costly
Others here will be able to give you a rough idea as far as cost
Thanks for the pictures...

Mr. Zielinkski
The cost to fully restore this gun would be in far excess of its worth in my opinion. I have a VH 12 2 frame in this shape and I just enjoy it as is and shoot it all the time. I also have put money into restoring a VHE and by the time I am done I will most likely be upside down but it does not bother me any. So it is up to you whether you want to put the money into it or not. It does have ejectors which increases the value. What is the length of the barrels?
