Description:
Early Antique PARKER Double Barrel LIFTER Shotgun
12 Gauge SXS Hammer Gun Made In 1877
Here we present an antique Parker Brothers Hammer Double Barrel Lifter Shotgun, with an Extractor, made circa 1877 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 2-1/2 inch chambers. Barrel is 30 inch solid rib. Cylinder chokes. The gun has an extractor. The twist barrels are marked “—PARKER BROS MAKERS. MERIDEN CONN. PLAIN TWIST.—” Single bead sight. The frame is marked “PARKER BROS”. Patent dates are located on the underside of the frame and on the splinter forearm. The splinter forearm removes easily to expose perfect casehardening inside. Straight grip.
The overall condition is very good. The Damascened twist pattern is still visible. The case colors are visible and silvering on the exterior and still vibrant under the forearm and on the frame under the barrel. The markings are clear. The numbers match throughout. The walnut stock is smooth and solid with some handling marks. The bores are smooth, clean and bright. The actions are excellent. Here is a nice example of an early Parker!
