Let's see some old 'Working Man's Doubles' of long ago

[Dean Romig]

Steve, that 9X57 double rifle sure doesn't look like a "working man's gun" but rather a gun of a man with the wherewithal to travel to other continents to hunt large and dangerous game.

The engraving is amazing! Can we see the wood please?

[Ed Kettner]

sorry no wood on file.

[Bob Brown]

This one may have been a working man's who had good taste. An original condition 00E 20 gauge.

VERY NICE 00E 20 GA.

This old girl has done her share of work. The left hammer is brazed back together, the trigger guard shows a crack that has a splice added and held together with rivets and there are some pins holding the wood on the right side of the stock. Only marks are the patend date on the tang, rib inscription on rib and serial number 27 on the frame both sides. This just shows to fix what is broke so we can keep putting food on the table. Definitely a working mans gun.

[Dean Romig]

Nice one Jim. It's good to see some of these earliest of Parker Bros. guns have survived.

[ed good]

is this really #27?

[charlie cleveland]

that no 27 has surely put her share of game on the table...working mans gun for sure.... charlie

Here are two more. LC Smith 00 Grade 12 gauge. Parker GH 12 gauge. The LC Smith is a great shooter. The GH has 23" barrels and I bought it for my wife who likes smaller guns. Not collectors' pieces by a long shot, but great shooters.

Thought I would add a few working and some heavily worked Parkers.
