Default English Parker Rifle

There is a ca 1840 English Parker percussion rifle in a museum near here. Fairly high quality gun. The English Parker gunmaker made some good guns in the early 19th century. There is no similarity among the English Parker SxS and a Parker Bros gun.

Best, Austin

Likely William Parker, who was a gunmaker from 1790 until 1840 and one of the forerunners of Parker, Field & Sons. As Bro. Losey explained, proof marks would confirm the origin, although those were faked also

I agree with Leighton however
