Thank you for your analysis of my gun. What you’re saying checks out and I’m sure you guys are tired of people asking questions about their Belgium made shotguns. I still think it’s a very cool old shotgun. And someone took great care a very long time ago to “fix” the stock. Yeah it’s broken, but it’s very solid and I think it just gives it character. It’s honestly the nicest shooting shotgun I’ve ever fired, and I own many.
The gentleman I purchased it from is named Bill Shawley. He owned two shops 12 years ago. The collectors corner in st James, Md. which is still there. And the sharpsburg armory, now gone. It was in sharpsburg Md, about a mile from the Antietam battlefield. The building itself was history and beautiful. Gave off an art gallery vibe. This shotgun was proudly displayed like art really. There weren’t a lot of guns at this shop. Just his best stuff. I’d like to think that Bill didn’t know it wasn’t a real Parker. Hell of a nice guy.
