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.

I have a 1-frame 12/30 T/A hammergun that currently weighs 7.54 lbs. that has had no alterations whatever other than some very professional refinishing. I can’t imagine it has lost nearly 1/2 lb. of moisture in the wood…

This is mine, interesting dates and serial numbers....... hmmm. Yours must have been sitting awhile. C grades are very nice? I'll get an actual physical weight, I got a feeling it's 8lbs or over.
Parker shotgun, serial number 44446, was completed on March 21, 1884. According to Parker Bros. Stock Book No. 16, it was a Quality G, Top Action Hammer Gun, 12-gauge. It featured Damascus steel barrels with a length of 30 inches. Its stock configuration was a pistol grip. According to Parker Bros. Stock Book No. 16, its specifications were: Length of Pull: 14 1/4”, Drop at Heel: 2 1/2”, Weight: 8 pounds. The chokes were patterned RH full and LH full.
