Did I Get a Good Deal
Gents,
I'm thrilled about acquiring my first Parker! From what I have gathered, and with the assistance of the fine gentlemen here, this GHE started life in 1902. It is a 12 gauge, not sure yet of frame size. Weight today is 6 lbs, 11 oz. It is currently configured with 26 in. Reproduction barrels with Q1 and Q2 chokes. I may add Briley's. The gun has been completely restored. I'm purchasing from Robin Hollow and have bought from them before, an MX-8 at the Vintagers a few years back. I enjoyed meeting Bill Hadfield and speaking with him again. According to Bill, he guesses the restoration was done by Turbull and from the pics, that sounds about right. The wood is gorgeous and the dimensions are 14, 1 5/8, 2 5/8. It comes with the original 28 in. Damascus barrels but they are no longer fit to the gun. I plan to use the Parker for hunting and clays fun. I have attempted to attach some photos. I would love to hear your thoughts. Now, I must wait 5 loooong days to get her home!
Next step, join PGCA! Happy to (soon) be a Parker Owner!
Joe
