PARKER GH 12 GAUGE

Starting in 1875, the parker GH or Grade 2 Hammerless was a popular choice among decerning sportsmen, as it added finer engraving and higher grade wood than the lower grades, at not too much of a price increase. This Damascus barreled example, made in 1898 is in fair overall condition, with much of its finish missing, but no serious signs of corrosion and a set of barrels that ring like church bells despite the few small dents. The one point of major concern is that the stock is rather badly cracked, which will need to be repaired or replaced.
