Thanks Mark for all those great pictures and info..........that's a very special water foul collection indeed! I have a Parker grade 2 hammer gun being fully restored by Brad, The time frame was 10 months, its due back this fall and I was just e-mailed that engraving looks great and on schedule....(-: It was in nice shape for a 1890-s shotgun, had no major issues and only needed the Damascus barrels re-done to be a nice shooter. But will be fantastic fully restored by Brad B. The gun came from the original family, 3rd generation son. I did get some names and family history info with it. The gun shipped to that big hardware store in Kansas. It has a collection of reloading tools, original hard takedown case that held the gun and all the needed loading items, cases, primers, shot cards, shot was with it. Some of the stuff still have packaging! The tools are hand held and bench mounted and are in very good to minty condition. Some are marked Brigeport. I bought the package on gun broker for the buy now price that I felt was very fair......its all really neet stuff. I will consider restoring the take down case as well but it is showing its age and may be better left as it is. I wanted a Parker hammer gun for my collection and to use for preserve hunts. This has good stock dimensions at 1 1/2X 2 1/2 by 14 1/4 30" choked F/F or maybe it was M/F I forget....Some light spred-r loads will be in order. I will do some pictures after its back with the case and goodies..... thanks all SXS ohio.....(-:
