Please allow me to introduce myself
Hello,
I live in SE Wisconsin and have always had an appreciation for fine guns although my interests seem to wander. In other words I don't specialize in my collecting. I am also an avid hunter of both birds and big game. In the last few years I have been on a hunt for a classic American made shotgun and the choice of a Parker seemed obvious. I recently decided to purchase a PH with twist barrels that was for sale on Gun Broker. From the serial number it appears to have been manufactured in 1890. It has been restored by a previous owner and whoever did the work did an impecable job. I will post some pictures when I have a chance. I had the gun checked out by Dennis Potter, a gunsmith in my area specializing in classic doubles, and he believes the gun is sound and safe to shoot with low pressure loads. I will post the details of his measurements of the gun in another post. I look forward to getting to know all of you and to learn from your experiences with these wonderful shotguns.
Best Regards,
Scott
