HAMMER GUNS

 
 


Parker Grade 1 Lifter Action 12 ga Hammer gun, SN22911 made in 1881 with 30" Twist barrels bored full and full.  Number 2 frame - weight ca. 7 lbs 8 oz. A very attractive gun that has been carefully cleaned  Vivid case colors in hidden locations only. Good mechanical order - slightly off face with crisp locks. The pistolgrip stock has been repaired, rechecked, and nicely refinished (lop 14 1/4"; d@h 3"). Original steel butt plate. The action is bright and clean without rust , pits or corrsion. Barrels have very good Twist pattern, no dents but rough bores - though quite shootable. These are heavy barrels and would clean up fine. ___ $900 (pics)

Parker Grade 0 Top Lever 12 ga Hammer gun, SN46491 with 28" Twist barrels bored modified both.  Number 1 frame - weight 6 lbs 14 oz. Good coundition with traces of original case colors. Good solid wood with most original varnish and some minor scratches and a small gouge on right side - dog's head butt plate. Good barrel pattern.  Locks up tight and has slightly rough bores but no dents. I have been shooting 1 oz 8000 psi loads in it. PGCA research extracted from Parker factory records provide proof that its current configuration is factory original. "The gun in the stock book was completed 11/1885 and was a gtade 0 twelve bore with 30" barrels. The order calls for a 28" gun with cyl chokes. It was shipped 3 days after the order came on March 18, 1886, so I suspect they cut the barrels back to 28". The order book also calls for a 13 1/4" lop. So they cut the stock back as well".___ $850 (pics)

Bernardelli Breshia 20 ga Hammer gun , 28 " barrels choked IC and Modified. Nicely checkered straight English style stock with modern dimensions - LOP 14 5/8" over Silvers pad, drop at comb 1 1/2" & drop at heel 2 1/2". Lightly engraved. Gold escutcheon in belly of stock. Importation was discontinued about 1992 at which time these guns retailed for $2500. This gun is mechanically perfect and retains 99% finish - including case colors, varnish and blue. $2500 (pics)
