William; These two AH's were in the 1897 Madison Sq. Garden show along with your A. 85259 is a straight grip 30" 12ga and 83183 is a pistol grip 10ga 30" gun. Also, is a picture of the Parker booth at the 1897 MSG show. Amazing the number of show guns have surfaced. Good luck with your A it's a very cool gun.

Craig, do you know where/when that picture of Parker Bros. display was taken?

It’s Parkers like these, along with their stories, that make Parker guns so darn interesting and intriguing.
