The PH gun has had a lot of history in my family as my grandfather got a heavy 12-gauge 1890 vintage PH in 1901 after a brief trial with one of those newfangled Winchester trombone action guns! It saw some serious use living on a Minnesota farm with six boys! After grandpa died in 1954 it passed to my dad's next older brother, born the year grandpa got the gun.
Your gun would be of 1903 vintage by the serial number chronology on the home page. According to The Parker Story, the first PH/PHE with the Parker Steel barrels was 192515 made in 1920. We must still be having a picture problem as I tried to post the Quality PH/PHE page from the catalog circa 1901 that introduced automatic ejectors but no go. |

Hi Dave,
I believe my Parker has a Twist barrel. Thanks for the reply. |

Looks like the photo attachment function is working --
Quality P.H. Ejector Catalog.jpeg In the years before WW-I most of the arms companies showed quite high "List Prices" in their catalogs while the guns actually had a much lower actual "Net Selling Price" at retail. Guess the thought was the consumer would think he was getting a good deal when his local hardware store sold him that $65 Quality PH for $48.75 and those $25 ejectors were really only $18.75. Still stupidly expensive when Remington ejector doubles were only $5 more than the same grade with extractors! |
