Twist and Damascus barreled guns (even Parker Bros.
Just about any vintage shotgun you anticipate buying should come with a minimum 3-day inspection period so you can get it to a qualified gunsmith who will be able to render a qualified opinion as to safety/shootability.

Respectfully asking why your reasons are for not shooting this gun and why it may be a dissapointment. The gun does appear to be a well made shooter. I am uneducated about the barrel strengths. I do have my drethers about the gun, but mostly safety concerns. Then make an educated purchase and you will probably not be disappointed. gun you gan get for a particular amount of money on sites like
Hang on to your money, keep looking, add a little money to your pile from time to time and keep on reading the posts here while you educate yourself about what kind of Parker Bros. Parker is the most attractive thing about it. I doubt if anything you do with this piece would "amortize out". On the information presented, I would not shoot this gun! If you have "the bound too's and can't help it's" (which all of us have had) there are ways to use this gun. Anyways it says Genuine Armor Steel on the barrel,? Sound sound to shoot with low base shells? I know thats not alot of info, Once again thanks for the education Matt Though I am amazed at all your shotgun knowledge!! Just what I need another addiction. I beleive you are right about it not being a parker bros. I have not bought the gun yet and am researching it. The Forest and Stream has already in past times expressed its opinion about these pestiferous products of the penurious population clustered on Belgian soil." Richards," that nonentity in the gun trade, was stamped on the plate, but they were really only those cheap bits of ordnance which come through our custom houses, pay a duty of 40 per cent., and yet may be placed on the counters of the gun shop at $5 a piece. Here is what Forest & Stream had to say in 1889. Richards to confuse one with the fine English firm of Westley Richards. Other names often seen on these guns were Sam Holt to confuse one with Colt, and W. T Barker was a name slapped on cheap Belgian imports from the 1880s to WW-I time in an attempt to fool the consumer into thinking he or she was getting a Parker Bros.
T PARKER DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN SERIAL
Could you post some pictures and the serial number? Does it have Damascus, Twist or steel barrels? Some of the knock off guns using the Parker name may be suspect to shoot! We will help all we can. Does not sound like a Parker Brothers shotgun From Meridian Conn., however. What ever you find about your gun, please keep coming back. Last edited on Mon Nov 28th, 2005 09:32 pm by Matt Wilson
I am green as grass to all this so any help will be great! Thanks Matt What can you guys tell me? Is this a different Parker from what you all collect. The guy says hes shot pigeons with it and its a good shooter. It looks clean alittle pitting in one bore. Have one on the hook, and wondering if it will be a good shooter. I just got back into quail hunting and decided I wanted to do it with a classy double.
