Greetings
First off I'd like to thank you folks for creating such a informative and useful website. I've inherited a Parker and your website made it very easy to identify.
The Parker is a 20 gage, Frame 0, weight 3.7, grade V. The serial number 145968 has a build date of 1907.
I'll try to post photos in my next post.
The guns is in excellent condition, for something thats over 100 years old, but has probably not been fired in 40 years. The only serious issue it may have is a repair of a cracked stock god knows how long ago. Looks like a machine screw and nut that was sanded down.
My immediate question is that do you folks know any gunsmiths near Northridge, California that work with older shotguns. Northridge is in the San Fernando Valley just north of Los Angeles. I also acquired a Model 1912 Winchester 16 gage that I need to have checked out as well.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give and again kudos on a excellent website.
Robert
