Parker Bros

[edgarspencer]

Other than studying the many variations of name engraving on my V grades, I find nothing noteworthy. My higher grade guns all seem 'common'.
I think I need more guns. No, you don'tShut up

Here's another interesting one.

Very interesting, always learning something on this site.

[Bill Murphy]

Dean, tell us more about the hammer gun.

[Dean Romig]

Bill, the hammer gun isn't mine but belongs to a collector who would rather remain anonymous.

I really feel privileged that some of these otherwise 'anonymous' collectors allow us to enjoy their Parkers here on the forum. I hope they will always allow us to enjoy them at least this way.

Bruce,
I love the C grade guns that have the dogs in a circle at the back of the frame instead of in the middle. Like the one you pictured. Kind of a mixture of B grade into it.

[Bruce Day]

Thank you for the kind words. This gun is a 1904 Damascus 20 ga, one of only a few known.

[C.O.B.]

I wonder how many total guns were produced with the roundaval engraveing like that. I have a CHE Bernard 16 with that style of engraving but have only seen three with that style.

[Dean Romig]

I've seen or seen pictures of at least fifteen Parkers with the roundel or roundelle style of engraving - the lowest grade was a GH in sixteen gauge that sold quickly on gunbroker while I was trying to decide how high I was willing to go..... duh!!
