Default Quality 2 16 toplever
After a multi year search for just the right one, I finally have a Parker 16 hammer gun. 0 frame, 28" barrels and Quality 2. Stock is a replacement which is a negative but it is not too bad.

Looking forward to shooting it which will happen soon

Mills, That is is very nice! I would not worry too much on the replacement stock, which you could always fix and improve someday if you wanted. That gun has everything else going for it! A grade 2 16 gauge hammer gun with case coloring, a fish tail lever and lightening cuts...it's beautiful!

Let us know how she shoots...

Well, Chuck produced the letter. Looks like it was shipped to W. S. Brown Co in Pittsburgh

More interesting, the 12 gauge that came with it was shipped to E K Tryon Co and there is a notation "Crosby" in the order. W. R. Crosby? The 12 is a 61,000 sn number and is also a toplever Grade 2 on a 1 frame

16 on top, 12 on bottom

Beautiful guns. The fishtail levers are really nice, and the case color remaining is awesome.

Very nice ! I’d suggest having the stock that’s on it checkered and say good enough
