This Parker Bros hammer gun is an 1882 lifter action in 10 gauge, serial 24105, listed as a 60 Grade. The 30-inch Damascus twist barrels have 2 7/8-inch chambers and fixed chokes measuring .022 and .026, modified and improved modified. Lock plates are engraved, hammers are exposed, and the checkered walnut stock runs 14 inches to the factory plate with drop of 2 1/8 to 2 5/8 inches. A PGCA letter accompanies it.

Condition is as described for a gun of this age: moderate wear and handling marks on the wood, a small chip at the toe and a very small repair scar near the head; case color mostly faded from the action with hints in protected areas; worn barrel finish with the Damascus pattern still visible; and a bore with light pitting that the seller calls not bad for the era. It sells from the Dallas location. For a Connecticut collector this is an antique American double to research with its letter and display.
