Default 10 Gauge
I was given a 1905 Parker 10 Gauge shotgun by my late uncle. I don't know much about it and was hoping someone here would be able to tell me more about it. Any information would be great (model, condition, value, etc).

Supply the serial number and a plethora of info will be incoming. Just looking at the pics that might be 4 frame 10 or a 3 frame 12 (breech barrel wall thickness), DH grade from the engraving and long barrels (32's-34's) unless the stock is really short. Nice piece of wood for the stock. Engraving also looks like 1890's mfg and damascus tubes lean that way also.

All the above is most likely gibberish to you but the web-site will explain all of it.

Thats a very nice gun. The Serialization Book says it is a Grade 3 (D grade) 10ga Damascus 28" barrels (28 is uncommon in 10ga) Capped Pistol Grip.

How do the bores look?

Bores look very clean. I know my uncle never fired it, but it looks like whoever owned it before him didn't use it much, if at all. I did confirm that the barrels are 28".

On the surface it appears to be in very good shape, screws have been turned and may be in the wrong holes as they are not indexed. Frame size on 10ga guns is something people would want to know. It stamped on the bottom of the barrel lug nearest the breech. Could be 2, 3, 4 or 5. You have to take the barrels off the gun to see it.

Hmmmm a 28” DH 10 would be nice to go along with my pair of EH 28” 10’s . Oh yeah I keep forgetting I’m in sell mode .

Steve Parker is also in the “neighborhood,” Canton/Akron area if I recall correctly.
