20 gauge damascus Parker

[double barrel]

I think I caught the Parker bug. I picked up a 20 gauge parker with two 28 inch barrels one has damascus barrels and the other I am not sure of, as it is not marked. They both have matching serial numbers and the gun is completely matching serial number 77292. Any comments would greatly be appreciated. I have tried to post pictures but I keep getting a error.

Tell us when you are ready to email your pictures and someone here will volunteer to post your pictures for you. We need pictures of the outside of the gun obviously, but also pictures of the flat parts of the barrels and receiver. You have a very coveted gun for Parker collectors.

Bruce,
Thank you for your reply, this gun is definately a 20 ga with 0 frame and is a DH grade I wish I could get the pictures to post. The second set of barrels has two stars on the left barrel and three stars on the right barrel.

How about shots of the sides of the receiver. I'd love to see the engraving.

I'm bettin' the original Damascus barrels are 16 ga. like the book says.

Thanks Ken - that certainly puts my theory to rest. I guess it's safe to say you tried them in the other end too....


By the way Ken, that's a very nice DH and in great condition too. I'll bet a previous owner was afraid to shoot the Damascus barrels. A lot of people were so afraid of Damascus that they replaced and junked the original barrels or scrapped the entire gun. You are very lucky to get that one. Congratulations on a great find!
