Parker PH 12 gauge
Hi all!
Was at a gun show the other day and a fellow had a Parker 12 gauge PH. It has a 1 1/2 frame, twist barrels, sling attachments and SN 93751 (the chart puts it as an 1899 manufacture date). It was not in great shape, looking like the stock had been replaced or at least a badly done recoil pad. The forend had a few splinters off of it and had obviously been refinished.
The interesting thing about this gun was a metal slide on the barrels. The fellow said he thought it was original to the gun but to me it did not look like something that should be on a Parker gun! It scratched the barrels and the mid-rib bead looked like it was worn off or filed off. It was sort of a blued metal sleeve about 6 inches long that slid up and down the barrels. He said it was for trap or skeet.
He is looking for a value for the gun as the owner would like to sell. I am not interested in the gun personally but I said I would try to find out a bit about it.
Has anyone seen something like that on a Parker?
