Original condition guns

[Dean Romig]

The highest condition Parker I have ever had the pleasure of being custodian of is this 1893 16 gauge Grade-1 TL hammer gun on the lightened 0-Frame with Laminated Steel barrels.
It went down the road about 2015. It was fun to be the caretaker of it and to show and display it (I never shot it and I would be very surprised to learn it ever had been fired except test firing at that "dusty little pland down in Meriden") but nothing is forever.

Thanks Dean. Amazing. 130 years (+-) of being apparently very well cared for but never fired.

Randy, I found myself suddenly without my regular source of income (I was downsized with no warning) and I still had a mortgage to pay. This one and a 90% CH with Bernard barrels went to that cause. Considering the alternative, I never regretted selling them for my family's security.
