Lindsay;
Thanks for the photos and the neat documents. I wish I had an inherited Parker with that paperwork. Don't ever separate the two. Who worked at the Gilliam Motor Co., was it your uncle? |

Yes he was my uncle - Hubert Gilliam and he was a great quail hunter and owned Gilliam Motors in Cumberland, VA. I was too young to hunt with him before he died of cancer. He told my aunt to make sure I got the Parker. She did that! I have had it packed away for 23 years. 2 years ago I took with me to the Woodmont Rod & Gun Club in Maryland for a Company hunt and an expert out there told me not to use it. I figured I would one day have time to research it and I am happy to have found the Parker Collectors Association!

Great story Lindsay. I too have hunted at Woodmont and it's a shame that it's no longer there. The "expert" you met really did'nt know anything about double guns, Parkers in particular. Your gun should be shot and enjoyed just as your uncle did. From the looks of the wear on the gun he used, but not abused, that nice Parker. If it had been unfired and in the box that would be a different story.

What's the frame size! Look at the bottom of the barrel lug.
