ENGRAVED Antique PARKER BROS Double Barrel Shotgun
Description: ENGRAVED Antique PARKER BROS Double Barrel Shotgun Damascus Barrels, Engraved Scenes, Nice Case Colors Here we present an antique Parker Brothers Underlifter Double Barrel Hammer Shotgun, made circa 1876 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 double gun features nicely patterned Damascus barrels and engraved frame and trigger guard. The engraving features well-executed borders, as well as 2 bird scenes and 2 dogs. The stock has very good grain. The barrel is marked “D” for its grade designation. The barrel address on the top rib reads “PARKER BROS MAKERS MERIDEN CONN DAMASCUS STEEL”. The bottom of the frame reads “PAT/NOV 13 1866/MAR 23 1875. Nice case colors remain on the protected part of the frame and inside the splinter forearm. Overall condition is very good. The Damascus patterning on the barrel is strong. Case colors remain strong in the protected parts of the gun. The engraving and markings remain crisp and legible. The serial numbers match. The stock shows some usual handling and remains very strong. The bores are smooth and clean. The barrel has a couple of dings. The action is excellent. Here is a handsome example of the venerable Parker Lifter Shotgun. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 28 inches. Caliber: 10 Gauge Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail!
