c1885 Antique PARKER BROTHERS 16 Gauge Double Barrel HAMMER Shotgun
0 Frame With Milled Lightening Cuts
Here we present an antique Parker Brothers 0 Frame Double Barrel 16 Gauge Hammer Shotgun, made in 1885 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 gun weighs 6.5 pounds. The struck weight on the barrel is 3 lbs. 8 oz. The lug is marked “0” for the frame size. The frame’s water table was milled out with lightening cuts for reduced weight.
The overall condition is good. Refinished. The actions are excellent. The right hammer is a replacement. The bores are bright and smooth. The stock shows use and there is a chip just under the left lock. Numbers match.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 28 inches.
Caliber: 16 Gauge
