Nice Parker Auctioned at Amoskeag
Today, I spent the majority of the day at the Amoskeag Auction. They sold just about 900 guns! One of the guns sold today was listed as "Parker Top Lever Hammer Double Shotgun". Serial #44995 (1885) 12 gauge, 30" barrels, choked Mod. & Full. The barrel inscription "PARKER BROS MAKERS MERIDEN CONN. TWIST". The bores shinned like a new one. The frame retains 85% original color. The barrel is beautiful. Just a joy to hold. Sold for $4,000. I wish all of you could have seen it.
A Parker VH sold for $600.00. Some slight pitting in the bores otherwise in nice shape.
