Established by Charles Parker shortly after the Civil War, Parker Bros. has produced a wide variety of shotguns in different styles over the years. Parker shotguns are perhaps the best known of all American shotguns manufactured and are among the most collectable. This shotgun was manufactured circa 1920-'21, and features blue barrels and trigger guard and casehardened remaining parts. The concave matte solid rib has an extension, single nickel bead sight and is marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN, CONN. U.S.A. ACME. STEEL" with pointing arrows at each end. Chambered for 2 3/4" shells, barrels gauge at modified/modified, with ejectors. The action, trigger guard, forearm hardware and break lever are highly engraved with fine floral scroll patterns. Amid the engraving on each side of the action is a hunting dog on point with game birds in a wooded scene and engraved "PARKER BROS". The underside of the action has three foxes directly ahead of the trigger guard, a dogs head amid the scroll engraving in the center and two hunting dogs in a wooded scene at the front. The water table is marked "PARKER BROS / REG. U.S. PAT, OFF." over the three line patent dates on the right side and "AH" over the serial number over "6" on the left side. Tang mounted automatic safety and single trigger with selector. Mounted with a extra fancy select walnut forearm with engraved hardware and pistol grip stock with Fleur-de-lis stock flats having a checkered recess in the center and a fancy border on the wrist checkering, Parker Bros. horn grip cap, finely checkered bare butt with engraved skeletonized buttplate and gold initial oval. Parker Bros. manufactured only about 125 of these AHE Grade shotguns with pistol grip stocks and only approximately 92 in 12 gauge. LOP 14 1/2".
