Just Got Her Home!

[Eric Dehn]

I'm posting pics of my newest acquisition; a Parker 10 Ga, lifter. I believe, thanks to this website, it was manufactured in 1881. I was hoping some of you learned Parker scholars might be able to give me some more specific "gouge" on it. At present, I intend to refinish the old gal. Not dead set on that, though. Needs some work to bring up to firing condition. As I'm on the cusp of graduating from gunsmithing school, I'm cosidering this as a long-term project for myself. I'm extremey fortunate in that I have access to several members of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild within easy driving distance of my home that I can can resource if need be. At any rate, here she is... Please let me know your thoughts. I look forward to reading them!
