Family Parker inherited from family

[Brandon.Richardson]

hello everyone, this is my first post and first parker 10 gauge double barrel. my great, great great grandfather bought it i believe in 1883. i think that is what the serial number says. i think its a grade 0, 3 frame twist steel barrel. any information about finding parts would be nice. one hammer hits, the other one moves weak. the weak hammer the screw was replaced its much smaller than the other one.

What a nice Parker to have been in the family all these years.Those are some heavy barrels at 5 10. It could be a ten gauge. I did notice the left lock has not been replaced correctly. Could you post the serial number? It is on the trigger guard bow and if that is unreadable, it is on the forend iron.

I believe the serial number is 36358. I really want to dissemble the gun clean it real good reassemble it and see what parts need to be replaced I want to say the hammers don't fully go back. Is there a diagram on the proper way to strip this shotgun It's definitely a 10 gauge I believe my great great grandfather John Richardson was the one purchased it in Minnesota Minneapolis.

I think I uploaded more pictures everything seems to be matching besides the hammer screw.

IsWhen my dad passed away (ALS) at 54, my older brother who doesn't shoot inherited dad's 16 ga VH. I basically grew up shooting grouse and woodcock and native pheasants in the Neponsett meadows with this 16. Anyway my brother wouldn't give me the gun, I'd have to buy it from him. Really pissed me off but that's the kind of guy he us. Anyway I bought it as it had many good memories and I wanted to keep it in the family. My grandson will inherit it. when I pass and while logan doesn't shoot clays he's one heck of a bird shooter so I know it will be put to continued good use. Years agoi had Larry DelGrego fully restore it as by then it was pretty beaten up from all the good use. Got to keep these old Parkers in the family.
