C Ingram 12Ga Hammer SxS Find

[Bill Kekatos]

Good morning. I have been trying to find a Parker hammer SxS, but I keep running into other hammer guns that I cannot pass. Until I find my Parker, here are pics of my latest find: C. Ingram, 12a, 30" damascus barrels, SxS. The gun has only one serial number marked on the barrels, in front of the forend lug. However, the barrel engraving style at the breach and the rib match the rest on the gun. Is it unusual that the frame is not marked with the serial number? The gun and barrels appear to be in decent condition. The forend has a small crack on the upper left side. I sending the gun to Kirk Merrington for evaluation. Your thoughts and comments are welcomed.
