My Parker Hammer gun was purchased new and has been passed down through the generations.My Texas family was mostly ranchers and farmers. This gun shows that it was used extensively to bring home dinner. The checkering is almost worn away. Mechanically it was kept in good shape. When it was bequeathed to me I sent it to Griffin & Howe for inspection and service. It was returned as safe to shoot. The bore is shin without pits. The barrel has no bulges, dents or pits. The dings on the stock are badges of hunts. Steel butt plate is intact.
Thanks for helping a newbie.
