PARKER BROTHERS SxS DHE Grade Hammerless Shotgun
GRADE 3 Side by Side 12 Gauge with EJECTORS Made In 1906
Here we present a Parker Brothers Double Barrel Hammerless Shotgun, with ejectors, made in 1906 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.
The Parker DH, or Grade 3 was introduced in 1875 and was very popular at a cost of $100 (a 100 Dollar grade). The DH is the lowest grade Parker to be considered one of their high grade shotguns. This DHE has Damascus barrels. The stock is made of Circassian walnut. The stock commonly has a silver shield behind the tang, nickel or silver plated triggers and spear-pointed extensions to the stock side panels. The checkering on the stock is more elaborate than lower grades and is a deep, twenty lines to the inch. Stocks were fitted with a skeleton butt plate as standard but recoil pads were an option. Dogs were almost always a feature of the engraving on the sides along with some extensive scroll work.
The overall condition is very good. The barrels retain a solid Damascene pattern. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The engraving is crisp. The walnut stock is in very nice shape. The bores are bright and smooth. The actions are excellent. Here is a nice example of a High Grade Parker Shotgun from the 1906!
