I just checked the serialization book and The Parker Story.

According to the Serialization Book there were found 256 Quality 2 guns with twist barrels recorded as T2.

According to The Parker Story, there are only 2 top action guns recorded in the stock books as having T2 barrels and both of them are 10ga.

It is probably a Grade 1 gun. A PGCA letter may solve the grade and barrel length mystery. Is the stock fitted tightly at the front of the receiver? The gaps at the rear suggest that the stock needs some work before shooting.

Chuck, Kurt & Bill,

Thanks so much for your replies and information.

The receiver is factory solid tight and I see what your concerns are about the 1/4" gap on the top view photo, however, it is as tight as can be. I didn't take a bottom picture but the receiver is solid against the stock underneath.

I found the serial number on the barrel as you said Chuck, so it is the original barrel. It has TWIST at the end of the logo in between the barrels after the Parker Bros. Meridian etc.

What is the average value of this gun? I would rate it below average or average because of the rust and pitting but it shoots and it is just an old original gun.

Thanks, Jim

Go to gunbroker. There are several low grade hammer guns on there right now. Some have a $400 starting bid with no reserve. You will get an idea of value when you see what they sell for.

Good Luck,
Kurt
