The Grade 2 Parker 10 Gauge was a first year Top Action gun from 1882. It has 30" barrels on a #3 frame and weighs 9 lb 12 oz.
This early Top Action Parker has NO dolls head.
I didn't want to invest in a full restoration on a grade 2 gun so I asked Brad Bachelder to restore only the metal.
Brad restored the barrels in Black and White.
Brad also re-case hardened the receiver to the colors appropriate for a 1882 Top Action Parker. Please note the straw color which is different than found on later Parkers.
Overall I think this is a beautiful gun!
PS: If anyone knows who Charles E. Gillon was please tell me. Either this was an award/presentation gun or he was just plain proud of this Parker!
