Description:
Antique PARKER BROS Double Barrel LIFTER Shotgun
1878 Hammered SXS Under Lifter
Here we present an antique Parker Brothers Hammer Double Barrel Under Lifter Shotgun, with an Extractor, made circa 1878 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 modified and improved. This gun has an extractor, a desirable feature. The barrels are Damascus and reflect “PARKER BROS MAKERS MERIDEN CONN PLAIN TWIST”. The front sight is a bead. The frame reflects the company name as well.
Overall condition is good to very good. The metal surfaces have a light gray patina. The markings are clear and legible. All serial numbers match. Walnut stock is smooth and solid, with an extension to the back. The bores are smooth with light pin pricking throughout; certainly serviceable. Lock up is solid. The actions are strong.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 30-1/8 inches in length. Chambers are 2-5/8 inches.
