Description:
1881 Antique PARKER BROTHERS Double Barrel SxS UNDER LIFTER HAMMER Shotgun
DESIREABLE 12 Gauge LIGHTLY ENGRAVED Hammer Gun
Here we present an antique Parker Brothers Hammer Double Barrel Under Lifter Shotgun, made circa 1881 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.
A brown patina with a few dings are present on the damascus pattered barrel. The wood is in good condition showing an expected amount of handling wear. A small repair at the left of the trigger tang. Strong action. The bores have shine but are pitted toward the breech. Legible markings. Softened checkering. Lightly engraved locks. Numbers on the barrels and frame match.
Here is a nice example of a Parker shotgun from the early 1880s!
