Very neat gun, it looks like it has suffered some from poor storage. Go to the Parker home page and open "Parker Grades" page down to AH grade 6 and click on "Top Leveler Hammer Guns" to see what nice condition examples look like. Craig

It's OK. Has those very dangerous Damascus barrels that are an accident just waiting to happen, and that gaudy engraving, waaaay over the top. I'll give you $500 for it as a parts gun.

Edgar, figured William already noticed that badly bent top-lever so I didn’t mention it.

William, It's nice to see my 16ga BH traveled in good company to the Boston show in 1898.
