Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
Here is a friend’s heirloom gun, which was apparently used by his grand-father, William O. Taylor, a member of the family which published the BOSTON GLOBE for over 100 years.
It is in the serialization book and there are factory records available.
He wishes to know opinions on value; may want to sell it; understands that he cannot offer it on this forum for sale and also asks about restoration advisability.
The pictures are not very clear, but there are quite a few of them.
It accords with the Serialization Book. Serial number is 100 835 (thus, 1901); 12-gauge; DH; reportedly a #2-frame; Titanic steel 30-inch barrels; top-lever; no extras; capped pistol grip. It exhibits a pinned stock head and deteriorated butt pad (originality unknown). Case color reportedly negligible. Barrels not examined or rung.
Any comments would be appreciated.
