another nickel plated hammer gun
Here are a few pictures of a Parker 12 Gauge Hammer gun I purchased at the Vintage Cup a couple of years ago. It is entirely nickel plated, barrels and all. Even the Butt plate screws are completely plated. The engraving is very sharp; I suspect the gun was plated either when it was built, or soon after. There is substantial wear and corrosion on some parts, like the bottom of the action where it was carried. There is no mention in the Parker records that it was done at the factory, but it certainly was not buffed as the engraving is sharp on done. The only parts not plated are the springs.
If someone can assist in how to post a photo, I can post a few, thanks.
