PARKER SHOTGUN
I have a Parker Doublebarrel Model number 9296. Top of the barrel spline is "Fine Damascus". On the side of the breach is "James Parker". So far I have only been able to determine that the gun was manufactured in 1877. I am seeking information as to who James Parker was. I don't beleive he was one of the original parker brothers. If you have any suggestions as to how I could get more information regarding this gun and possibly its current value,I would appreciate it.

Just came in possession of a Parker and know nothing about them. This has damascus barrels, 12 Ga. in fine original condition except for cracked stock which can easily be repaired. Ser. #111869. Above the serial number on water table is 2, below is G, beautiful case colors, no ejectors, double triggers, banjo type forearm release, pat. date on barrel flat, April 11, 1876. Tell me what grade or something about this gun as I don't have a clue. Original dog head butt plate, some engraving, beautiful bores, original grip cap. The only thing, the stock might have been refinished at some point in time. Information and approximate value would be appreciated. Bub IV 0 -
Strange... You bought the gun without knowing what it is.
Look on the watertable under the barrels for a serial and a letter or number sequence. My guess from your very limited description is a field gun. No ejectors, no fancywork, etc.
On the positive side your gun has fluid steel tubes.

Vulcan steel barrels are usually associated with V Grade guns--- Nord's advice is right on. 0
