New member- looking for ID/Info on 1910? Parker

[Harold Pickens]

Well used, but well preserved! Smaller bores--16 and 20, command much higher value in the same grade. Still, that appears to be a nice gun. Hope you start shooting it. ( I would shoot any standard 12 ga load between 1 to 1 1/4 oz around 1200 fps through it--but no steel shot.)

You seem to know - so maybe you might know about a Beesley that came with it. A 1930 (I think) 20 gauge. If not, do you know how a guy finds any information about those?

I can tell you this, the value of your Parker pales in comparison to your Beesley. Beesley was a high end English gun, often linked to the Purdy name. I read that it was recently "resurrected" and now made again in England. In 20 ga, that is quite a nice gun.
Post some more pictures of both. There are those here who are quite knowledgeable and may chime in.

Thanks again for your input. I will take some good photos. I only have my uncle's cell phone photos. I need to go to his house and get them out of the safe and take my own photos. As soon as I do I will post.
