If these old Parkers could just tell their story! Get a letter from our historian. It will tell you part of it's history.
Best Regards, George

your gun dates to 1904...this link to the sporting life from 1909 shows a H. B. Moulton from Montpelier taking 2nd place in the Ithaca club handicap.
He missed out on the first place prize of a box of cigars. http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrar.../SL5318030.pdf . Last edited by Gary Rennles; 03-04-2017 at 02:16 AM.. Reason: corection of information |

The gun was not done by turnbull.
Some searching on the internet can maybe turn up some info on the name. I had a similar case with a Sauer sporting rifle i own. The name engraved in the crest was that of a US Congressman and member of the Pillsbury bakery family. You never know what you will find.

Keep looking Philip, H.B. Is not the same guy.
Of course, a research letter just might confirm who the gun was made for. F.G. Moulton may even have been engraved at a later date. .

The scroll work on the oval does not look "Parker". So it may
Not have been done when the gun was new.
