Default Welcome and howdy

Hi Robert saw you’re in Tacoma. I’m down I-5 a piece in Chehalis. Maybe we can have a Parker picnic in Western Washington as this COVID fades and the weather warms this summer.

Welcome,

Francis Marshall

The last one is a Parker Trojan that has been buffed pretty robustly. Probably a good shooter.

The first gun is extremely nice but I can’t identify it.
I’m sure others here will be able to.

The first gun appears to be made by Simpson & Co if I read the barrel marking correctly. I've had a few of those over the years, of various grades, and yours appears to be a higher grade gun. Truly an heirloom to be proud of.

That simpson is a nice gun! Someone blued the frame at one point, but nonetheless beautiful. I have an Emil Kerner that is very comparable to it. Do you know if it has any Merkel markings on it? As in the barreled action supplied by Merkel?
