Gunsmithing Help ID Shotgun

[nashlaw]

A friend had this passed on to him through his family. He said it has "Parker" engraved somewhere on it- not sure if it is the barrel or the action. He is not a "gun person", so I am going to have to look at it myself to see what else might help ID it. I asked for pictures and these are what he sent. I will try to get more.

After seeing the size of the pictures in the post, I know I will have to get some more shots. Anyway, see if you can make anything out.

Thank you for the help.

David,

Parker is a well known name among shotgun shooters. But you're right. The photos don't show much.

Most Parkers are worth a mint. I believe that Parker-Hale made Safari type double rifles, but I am no means an expert and you should seek a professional opinion on what it is and it's value.

BTW I'll give you $20 for it

Re: Help ID Shotgun

I think that is a percussion muzzleloading musket, not a shotgun. Need better pics.
