Gary, if anything you don't post enough. I think that Parker hammer guns are the most interesting to look at, especially the ones you have in your collection.

Gary, I now own Austin's rare #3 frame 32" 12 gauge lifter. It is one of the last lifters made, maybe the last, serial number 104,043. There are missing stock books in that era. I had been pursuing that gun since well before Austin owned it. When I first saw the gun, I had no idea how scarce these guns are, nor how late in lifter production it was. Several years after I was offered the gun by another collector, Austin showed up with it. He would not sell it to me, but he knew I wanted it. He installed a Silver type pad on it for shooting but did not modify the butt and the original buttplate is with the gun. It was ordered on May 2, 1908 and shipped to Shoverling, Daly, and Gales, probably seven years after the gun was numbered.

I don't believe any of us would ever tire of you, or anyone else for that matter, posting pics of these wonderful Parker hammerguns.
Thank you and keep 'em coming!

3 frame 12g guns are just great! Hammer or hammerless.

I have a DHE #3 frame 12 gauge with SST, rebarreled by Remington and I think also restocked by them. Weighs in at around 8 lbs. 10 oz. with 30" barrels choked M/F. BTFE, 1940's period(?) recoil pad. AAH style checkering. Hasn't been used a lot from the condition of the finish.
Its looking for a new home, too. |

My DH grade ten gauge magnum, sleeved by Lefever, was originally a 32" #3 frame 12 gauge. Fortunately, a ten gauge magnum Lefever sleeved gun is even more scarce than an original #3 frame 12 gauge. It is the first Parker I have seen with the rib expertly remarked "Lefever Steel" where the original "Damascus Steel" was removed.
