That’s wild, I’ll have to check the stock to see if it’s weighted.

Typical Parker balance, right at the hinge. The weight seems to be centered. I’ll be coming around in Feb. I’ll let you know and I’ll bring it with me.

I have a 1-frame 12/30 T/A hammergun that currently weighs 7.54 lbs. that has had no alterations whatever other than some very professional refinishing. I can’t imagine it has lost nearly 1/2 lb. of moisture in the wood…

This is mine, interesting dates and serial numbers....... hmmm. Yours must have been sitting awhile. C grades are very nice? I'll get an actual physical weight, I got a feeling it's 8lbs or over.
Parker shotgun, serial number 44446, was completed on March 21, 1884. According to Parker Bros. Stock Book No. 16, it was a Quality G, Top Action Hammer Gun, 12-gauge. It featured Damascus steel barrels with a length of 30 inches. Its stock configuration was a pistol grip. According to Parker Bros. Stock Book No. 16, its specifications were: Length of Pull: 14 1/4”, Drop at Heel: 2 1/2”, Weight: 8 pounds. The chokes were patterned RH full and LH full. |
