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..
John D.

it is not hammerless, it has double hammers. also, the right barrel is burst about halfway down right in front of the forstock. looks like it happened decades ago. and it is VERY dirty. i will post photo's later today.

Dave,
Serial number 1213XX would make this a 1903 Parker. I checked the "Book" and only four Parkers were listed and they were all 12138X and none were 10 gauge or "P" grade. Parker was still making hammer guns in 1903. My guess is that it was left in the shed after the barrel burst. A lot of shotguns were kept loaded in out building (I found a VHE 20 gauge in a corn crib). My guess is that something "nested" in the barrel and caused the burst.
