I am new to the world of Parker Brother's Guns and enjoying it very much so far. I was very excited to find this site! My husband and I picked up a DHE at auction last week and I am trying to find out as much as I can about it. Value, history, and anything else I can find out! I will be sending for a research letter right away.
Any help anyone can give would be wonderful!
I have been doing a little looking around and comparing, and have noticed that our DHE does not say titanic steel or anything else for that matter on the barrel rib. Most of the ones I have seen on this site do. Is it common to not have that on the rib?
There are lots of proof marks etc under the barrels that we can't see very well or photograph because we can not seem to remove the barrels. They seem loose enough after removing the forend but will not detach. Anyone have any suggestions?
We have located a gunsmith that
says he is familiar with Parkers..... so we may go that route if need be.
I have taken lots of pictures and will post a few. I am still trying to figure out percentage of case colors, condition of everything and ????? Kind of confused but I am enjoying the ride so far.
