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.

Hello Dee: I'm going to disagree with Dean on this one. What you have (according to the "book") is a Parker hammerless T14 or CHE Grade 16 gauge with capped pistol grip stock and 28 inch Titanic Steel barrels made in 1904. Your gun needs total restoration in that it is in, as Dean pointed out, very poor condition and off the face. What you have is a fairly rare Parker with family provenance. I would suggest ordering a research letter from PGCA for $40 and see what information it would provide. Tell us where you are located and perhaps we can recommend a Parker restoration expert to bring your Great Grandfather's gun back to life. It won't be cheap but IMHO this gun deserves it.
Best Regards, George

I am located in Hurst, TX. I found this under my Grandpa's bed just recently after my Dad, Grandma and Grandpa all passed this past April, May, and June. I took the pictures just as I had found it due to reading about not trying to "clean" it up or do anything to it until I had it appraised. Thank you for all of the information and advice you have given. I appreciate it.
