Antique Parker Bros Shotgun 12 Gauge

Description:
Nice antique Parker Bros. Great as a collector's item, or can be refurbished for use with black powder rounds. I wanted to refurbish it to use, but don't have a lot of time or money. Asking $1,000 obo. However, as I have time and money I will be referbishing It little by little and the price will increase.   Action functions well. The bores need a little work. The barrels have scuffs, scratches, and surface erosion, and the right one has a couple of minor dents near the muzzle. Because of the erosion and dents I thought I'd make it a coach gun, which might look nice.   The receiver has turned to a brown patina and you can make out most of the scroll and boarder engraving as well as some game scenes. Manufacturer engravings remain legible.   The wood is considered poor and fair condition and you can make out that there was checkering on the pistol grip at one point. But the stock has indentations and a gouge in the right side. I wanted to replace the stock and foregrip with brand new furniture due to the poor state it is in, and still might. As you can see in the pictures the grip area has been cracked and repaired. I recently had my brother do some more cosmetically appealing repairs to it, taking off the leather grip wrap and . Fresh pictures coming soon.   The overall condition is considered fair, but like I said I wanted to give it a little TLC.   Left hammer is an old replacement, but it isn't readily noticeable.   Barrel is marked "PARKER BROS MAKERS, MERIDEN CONN. DAMASCUS STEEL."   Matching numbers on receiver, barrels, and forend.
