ANTIQUE Parker DH 12ga 26" 2 3/4" chamber
Ok my name is Jim and I am a new member, and don't even have my first Parker yet! That being said I am looking and have been looking for some time for the right gun. I am looking for a gun that is something I can hunt with Quail/Prairie birds, but also one that will keep and even go up in value. So I would like a 26" Imp cyl/Mod and or 28/30" Mod/Full, I really like the GH and the DH.
This gun mentioned above says "By serial number, it was of mid year 1893 production
Demascus to "Titanic Steel" barrel with 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" chamber conversion
Wood has been refinished (stock and fore end) Glossy
#1 frame gun - typically suited for light 12ga or 16ga black powder cartridges - This gun must be used with low pressure light loads in 2 1/2" or 2 3/4" shells only." I added glossy.
It says Titanic on the rib but there is a crimp about 3" from the breech of barrel it is less than $2000 and is beautifull. Would this be a safe quail gun? Will this gun ever increase in value? What exactly do they mean by light loads? Any help you guys can give me would be a big help. Thank You
