Family Heirloom - Parker DH?

[Brett Hoop]

Nice Parker. HT - thought to be heat treating. J.G - barrel inspector. 4/4 raw barrel weight. The 3 on the frame under serial number - Grade 3 and it has ejectors instead of extractors thus a DHE
34” barrels - desirable long barrels, we get a little giddy over this length of barrels because there weren’t that many of them to begin with and fewer survivors it seems. And they provide a longer sighting plan that may or may not be an advantage particularly at the clay target games some of us like to play. And the they are just cool. Straight gripped guns always draw attention as it seems there were fewer of those originally produced also. Yours has nice looking walnut. The squished pad tells us it’s been there a long time.

Do yourself a favor and join and become a member- it saves money on the letter you should look into obtaining. And the quarterly magazine Parker Pages is very well done and always informative .

Although there are many very knowledgeable ( much much more so than, I) folks here that can tell you some of the details. I would be writing down everything your family can tell you about their history with the gun because that knowledge can be lost so quickly and maybe the most valuable part of any heirloom.
