BrianLiszkay;
That last picture, is that the scene of the crime so to speak? I'd love to hear the rest of the story on how it was found, etc.

I’m sure similar fates have befallen a lot more nice Parkers, Foxes. Lefevers, and many others that will never again be seen or recovered. Capsized duck hunting boats of all sorts; lost overboard, left leaning against a tree never to be relocated. House fires, camp fires, the list goes on.
A very sad and unexpected end to a fine old Parker. .

Your "gunsmith" doesn't seem to be a font of knowledge. Where are you in Virginia? Some of us close by can possibly help you. Bill in Maryland.

I have a straight stock for sale that will probably work with that one.
 What a shame to see what was once an outstanding Parker in that condition.

WOW! Sad that it is in that condition but as a piece of art it is really cool. Love the barrels even with the blown out part. I think I'd have to put my ear up to it to listen if the old gun can tell a me a story? Great pictures.

Brian, I hope you can be at peace with that gun in its current condition. It still shows the beauty it had when first crafted.
