i finally have a parker
so i have been shooting doubles all my life and i am currently 77yo.
always wanted a full set of doubles made in usa and had most but no parker.
couldn't afford the price of admission.
long story short, i helped my friend in his purchase of 2 early (1906/07)parkers that i heard about from a local dealer. he bought them both, with one being an ejector gun, both in 12ga.
saw an ad on gb for a parker at what i thought was a silly price and as a joke, bid on it. description and pics left a lot to be desired.
won the auction!
i now own my first parker, s/n145980. nice blued bbls (small dent left), minor nick in rib from falling over, small piece of wood missing at juncture of frame, and in otherwise excellent condition. fit and function perfect!
i do need to replace the two forward bottom plate screws as the heads are somewhat buggered. any help with the two screws would be appreciated.
thanks for a great website.
