1900 20Ga GH restoration

[Merv Boyd]

i purchased this Parker with the intent of restoring it. The pictures show the before and after. Duncans Gun Works of San Marcos, CA refinished the wood/checkering, action metal polishing and bluing. Dale Edmonds refinished the damascus barrels and added the ivory bead. Turnbull Restoration did the case hardening.

Now I just need to find the time to shoot her!

Will post more pic's later. photo files are too large!

You need to shrink the file to 60%

Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion. I am working on having the pictures reduced as I shot them in high resolution.

I will try to upload the pictures this weekend.

The attached link shows the original condition of the shotgun.

Mervyn,
That is an absolutly beautiful small bore Parker. That being said I bet I'm not alone in thinking that if I owned that gun I wouldn't do anything to it but shoot the heck out of it. I'm sure the craftsmen you mentioned did a great job and I look forward to seeing the after photo's.

I agree with everyone, what part do you want to restore, it's a great looking Parker.

[Richard Flanders]

Wow. Agreed also. Other than dismantling and cleaning, I wouldn't touch it. Not many are in that shape. Doesn't appear to have been used much.

I agree with the rest of the boy's. Leave it alone and warm it up as often as you can....
