Default New to me 129 yr old Parker

I really "need" a 20ga or 28ga, but I bought another 12 recently. I just liked it, so....



It appears that Mr. Hubbard was hard on barrels. I don't know what ever happened to the 2nd set of twist barrels. They aren't with the gun anymore. Maybe Mr. Hubbard dented them beyond repair?

The original barrels were bored out to cylinder choke on both sides somewhere along the way. That suits me fine anyway, as I'll likely only use it for dove and quail with light loads anyway. Other than that, it doesn't appear that much has changed on the gun. Engraving is worn, but still there. A little case color still evident here and there, but not much. Cool old gun. I just couldn't pass it up.
