In the world of vintage American shotguns, Parker reigns supreme.  Parker Gun Collectors Association is unquestionably the longest standing, bestanized of the collector’s associations focusing on double shotguns, Parker has the most recognizable name, and Parker in fact made some of Americas finest shotguns.  Most agree that the DH Grade is the first grade to show fine engraving with game scenes, well figured wood with drop points and fancy checkering, fine Titanic steel barrels, and that highly desirable Parker “feel”…the features that bring pride with owning a fine Parker shotgun.  They made only 1178 DH Grade Parkers in 16ga., only 600 or so had ejectors, and only 500 had the most desirable 28” barrels.  This fine Parker, SN149077 made in 1910, is one of the most attractive I have seen in some time.  With much nicer wood figure than most Parker DH grade guns you will see, perfect wood to metal fit, excellent screws, clear sharp engraving, 60% factory case color, 99% factory barrel blue, strong well-timed ejectors, 28" Titanic Steel barrels, excellent mechanics and shooting dimensions, it is the perfect upland bird and vintage clays gun.  Built on a #1 frame, it balances dead on the hinge pin.  Look closely at the photos and you will see an outstanding Parker with great modern stock dimensions that ready for the 2019 hunting season just around the corner.  See the specifications below.  FINDING FACTORY ORIGINAL PARKER GUNS IS GETTING HARDER EACH DAY.  This Parker is in top condition and priced to be an affordable, highly engraved, collector quality treasure for your shooting pleasures.  A fine Parker for now and generations to come.  Thanks for looking!
