Antique PARKER BROTHERS Double Barrel SxS DH Grade 3 HAMMERLESS Shotgun
GRADE 3 Side by Side 12 Gauge Made In 1896
Here we present an antique Parker Brothers Double Barrel Hammerless Shotgun made in 1896 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. 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.
The overall condition is very good. Good Damascene pattern on the Parker Damascus barrels. The actions are strong. the bores are shiny and smooth. The butt plate is absent. Dogs were almost always a part of the engraving on the sides along with some extensive scroll work as featured here. Here is a nice example of an antique Parker Shotgun from the 1896!
