1882 Antique PARKER BROTHERS Double Barrel SxS UNDER LIFTER HAMMER Shotgun
DESIREABLE 10 Gauge LIGHTLY ENGRAVED Side/Side Gun
Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Parker Brothers Double Barrel Side by Side Under Lifter Hammer Shotgun, made in 1882 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 overall condition is nearing fine. Original brown patina. Strong action. After the breech is opened, the release button must be pressed to close the action. Both bores are in good shape with some various light pitting and remain bright. Solid buttstock and forarm, containing average and expected handling/storage wear. Damascus patters remain on the barrels. Markings are legible. Lightly engraved locks. Numbers match.
