Early Antique PARKER Double Barrel LIFTER Shotgun
Hammered SXS Made Circa 1870
Here we present an antique Parker Brothers Hammer Double Barrel Lifter Shotgun, with an Extractor, made circa 1870 in Meriden, Connecticut. Charles Parker was an entrepreneur who began working in U.S. manufacturing in the 1830s. Interestingly, one of his first products was a coffee mill. He also collaborated on several government contracts to make arms during the American Civil War, including one for the Model 1861 and then a truly interesting, rare breech-loading design for the state of Kentucky, called the Triplett & Scott Carbine. Finally, in 1866, after his experience in arms manufacture for the war effort, he and his sons, Wilbur and Dexter, began the company Parker Brothers, making sporting shotguns. This company is considered by many to have been the best manufacturer of fine American shotguns, ever. The company was in business until 1942.
This shotgun features 12 gauge bores, with 2-5/8 inch chambers. Chokes are improved modified. This gun has an extractor, a desirable feature. The barrels are Damascus and reflect “PARKER BROS MAKERS MERIDEN CONN DAMASCUS STEEL”. The front sight is a bead. The butt plate is of steel. The frame reflects the company name as well and is nicely factory engraved. The trigger guard tang reveals the serial number. The splinter forearm removes easily to expose perfect casehardening inside. The exterior frame shows some good case colors as well. Serial numbers match. All markings are crisp and clear. The bores are excellent. Action is tight and this gun will make a fantastic shooter for someone looking for “old world” quality, history and experience.
