Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
Ran into a deal today for a Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set on a #2 frame the barrels are factory original 26” and 30” . Gun was ordered this way with the 26” being twist steel and the 30’s in Damascus . Little unusual but the gun letters as such with the factory books .

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
I really really want an Parker EH 10 factory length 26” but until I find one this gun will certainly do ! The 26” barrels are choked from the factory approx IC and LM .

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
This one is extending me a bit over budget . And I’d been watching the auctions for a S&W 19-3 2 1/2” , I’ve got some cabbage set aside for a DHE 16 I know about if that falls thru I may try for a 19-3 otherwise a Smith will have to wait another year .

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
awesome. I love old Parkers, would like an old 10ga just for some late season pheasant hunting. But not very practical for taking out once or twice a year.
I have just one Parker, a 16ga trojan, bought cheap as it had short chambers, no one was interested in the short chambers, but good for me.
I would like to have another, a VH, or maybe just another good trojan in 16ga, mine is a 100 years old this year, great upland gun.
or a good Fox in 16ga, but like the Parkers, if in good shape, lot of money, and I still have an elk rifle to buy yet...and earlier this year bought a Merkel 47E in 12ga.
Too many guns left for me on my want and need list.
Where do you find all these Parkers?

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
I can relate to the Parker 16’s as I have a couple VH’s a GH and am trying to acquire a DHE . I had a circa 1930 AH Fox A Grade 16 for awhile but a double dealer in MI wanted it more than I wanted to keep it . Age is a number of these guns were maintained well and not abused or even later rehabbed they got plenty life left in them . I’ve got a good many pre 1890 doubles I’m not afraid to use on a regular basis . As to where I find them I just keep my eyes open and of course I have some folks that could be considered informants . And doing work at my friends shop helps me when consignors bring stuff in for us to sell . Think I’ve gotten four or five people consigned for sale at the shop .Marlin32 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 10:42 am awesome.

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
This two barrel set was actually on the net for sale . But I know the guy that owned it and kinda know the guy brokering for him . So needless to say I didn’t pay what they were asking . By the time the deal was struck they’d knock a big chunk off the price and threw in a fitted walnut case that a Parker guy in IN or IL had custom made for the owner . I didn’t really want the case but it is what it is .

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
This is the case that comes with this two barrel set and was made for it . Very tasteful but not something I’m overly worried about .

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
Don’t get me wrong fitted cases are nice and especially nice if one has a “gun room” in there residence where they can display stuff . But they are heavy for carrying around . I’m more of an advocate of Americase products , still not light in weight but with an Americase I don’t care if it gets scratched .

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
I’m intrested to see how this gun handles on the skeet field with the 26” barrels ! Also how it does with those open barrels shooting larger buckshot 00 , 000 , 0000 and 00000 as well as my home cast slugs . My EH 10 gauge 28” that’s cylinder and very very lite mod does very well with large buck and slugs so I see no reason this one shouldn’t be similar

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set

I hope they get it to the shop before I leave at 14:00 .

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
Beautiful! What year was it made. I went to a small gun show last year and a fellow had a Parker shotgun broke down in a nice original case. The metal work was something to get lost in. Actually I couldn't stop looking at it, being a metals guy. Price $2K. I think it was probably a deal. I thought I had better not getting into collecting Parkers, I think once you start oh boy look out.

These guys were amazing craftsman (1887). You have an awesome piece there. Good for you! Thanks for sharing.

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
I shot my 00000 buck handloads in it at 25 yards . That’s SIX .395” pellets . I got five hits from the right barrel and five hits from the left barrel .
For some unexplained reason my phone does not want to download the picture from the right barrel You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
I'd say that'll do just fine! Gun looks to be in very good shape- nice snag!!!

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
With that 26” set of barrels that are quite open , this gun would be perfect for a vintage skeet shoot in the hammer gun category

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
Saturday 11/16/19 for the Virginia gun opener I’m going to take my Mannlicher Schoenauer MC carbine in 30-06 and this Parker Grade 1 10 gauge wearing the 26” barrels . I’m going to load 00000 Buck in the right barrel and a Moose Molds 715-585HB in the left barrel . These things I’m using for slugs were initially made for target competition at the North South Skirmish matches . But some other folks had found them to be excellent in rifled shotguns so I thought I’d give them a try in smoothbores . I cast them in both the hollow base and solid base variations .

Re: Parker Grade 1 10 gauge two barrel set
Besides buckshot and slugs I took this one to the range for the first time for a round of skeet on Black Friday ! This gun handles very well with the 26” open barrel . Sorry to say I’ve not tried the longer barrel .
