Description:
Parker GHE 20 Gauge SxS
28", NICE FACTORY FINISH
General Specs: Parker, Year 1930, 20 Gauge, 6lbs 3oz, SxS
Serial Number: 234681
In the world of vintage American double shotguns, Parker Brothers reigns supreme. The Parker name is synonymous with classic upland double guns. The Parker Gun Collectors Association has done a great job fostering knowledge on these fine guns, which many believe to be America’s finest. The GH Grade is the first level of Parker with game scene engraving with only 990 made in 20ga. with Parker Special Steel barrels, and only about 650 made with ejectors. There are likely less than 600 GHE 20ga. Parkers left on the planet. This fine Parker, sn234681 made in 1930, is a very nice example with some exceptional features that most double gunners love to see, ie lightweight at 6lbs. 3oz, excellent mechanics, 28” IC/M barrels with mirror bores and 98% factory blue, factory bore diameter, over 65% factory case color, figured wood with excellent modern dimensions, and still harboring the original dog’s head butt plate. The lettering and engraving are still strong, and the screws are all in superb condition and clocked properly along the axis of the gun. The barrels still have the factory strike marks on the breech face of the barrels indicating little use and factory original. Barrels also have tight ribs and fit tight as new on the hinge pin and breech face with the top lever centered. The triggers are crisp and break clean at about 4.5lbs. of pull. There are few 20ga. Parkers with 28” Parker Special Steel barrels that weigh less than 6 1/2lbs. and still retain all factory finishes. For the upland hunter a gun at 6lbs. 3oz. is preferred by most. Finding Parker guns with lots of factory finish and no restorations is becoming increasingly difficult. What a gorgeous investment quality Parker for your upcoming bird season and just in time for you to enjoy at your favorite gun club for some clay targets to warm you up for the season. Priced to sell, so don’t hesitate or she will be gone. Thanks for looking!
