Gary you have a very nice Parker and a family heirloom to be proud of. Somewhere along the line it has probably been restocked as the checkering pattern isn't correct. Who ever did the work used a nice piece of wood and did a great job. You have a Parker to be proud of. If you post a pic of the bottom of the foram off the gun we can tell you if it has ejectors.

Barrel Length
The barrel length is 28 inches. I was wrong about the ejectors (I'm learning more due to help from members). It has extractors.
Just curious, the fit on the stock of wood to metal is perfect. Is it possible that this is a custom gun? Don't know if Parker took custom orders. Just a thought. Many thanks for all help and replies Gary |

It is highly unlikely that either the stock or checkering were done by Parker Bros. It was obviously done a long time ago and has had a good amount of use since. Whoever did the stock was a true craftsman and he did a great job.
The grade of American Black Walnut appears to be appropriate for the Grade 2 Parker of that period and the buttplate appears to have the spur. I will stick my neck out however, and say that the wood could very well be the original stock wood but if so, the checkering and nose of the comb would have been recut to what you show. |
