Description:
Parker GH 12 Gauge Shotgun
98% CASE COLOR

General Specs: Parker, Year 1903, 12 Gauge, 7lbs 9oz, Side-by-Side
Serial Number: 119764

Look at this fantastic Parker!  With all the high condition guns being scooped up by wise investors, collectors, and shooters, it is a rare day when one finds a near new, FACTORY ORIGINAL, UNMOLESTED Parker.  There are a lot of GH Grade 12 ga. guns out there as they made over 22,875 of them with Damascus barrels.  I have owned many GH Damascus Parkers, many of them true gems, but this one stands out.  THIS GUN IS IN FACTORY ORIGINAL CONDITION IN ALL WAYS AND RETAINS MOST ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WOOD AND METAL FINISHES.  This fine Parker, sn119764 made in 1903 has 98% VIVID CASE COLOR,  the wood retains 95% factory finish, and the 30” F/F barrels are a fine Damascus with 95% vivid pattern, excellent bores, factory bore diameter, good wall thickness in both barrels, and just a few handling marks.  A beautiful and rare example of a very special Parker, it is a fine, investment quality American double that will be a joy to take afield or to the Vintage Side by Side shoots to crush targets.  The GH Grade is the first grade with the tasteful game scene engraving and richly figured walnut, and at 7lbs. 9oz. this #2 frame Parker was undoubtedly meant for waterfowling and heavy use.  Thankfully it must have sat unused but well cared for over the last 115 years!  It even has great shooting dimensions!  Most of these old guns had lots of drop at heel.  This one has 2 5/8” drop at heel and 1 ½” drop at comb and 14” LOP to the original dog’s head butt plate.  Perfect mechanics and screws, clean sharp engraving, all in perfect order and ready to go.  This is a rare opportunity to own a truly high condition, factory original Parker waterfowler at a reasonable price when you consider this is a premium gun unlike any other being offered for sale.  Thanks for looking and don’t miss out on this one!
