William Parkhurst 12 Gauge Side By Side Double Barrel Hammered Shotgun Made In 1910

Description:
For sale is a William Parkhurst 22 inch double barrel side by side shotgun s/n 9865. This gun was made in Belgium sometime around 1910, but the exact year of manufacture is uncertain. 

This Shotgun is for display only. The barrels are made of laminated steel and are not safe to shoot. *Do Not Shoot This Shotgun*.

Laminated steel was one of several techniques used to make shotgun barrels before WWI. The process entailed taking two or three thin strips of iron and steel, heating them, and then twisting and forging those into one ribbon which was then heated again and spiral wrapped  around a mandrel of the desired internal barrel diameter. This amalgamation was then forged into a solid tube much like the paper tube inside a roll of paper towels or a roll of toilet paper. Barrels made by this method are not safe to shoot.

Top of rib is marked "BELGIAN LAMINATED STEEL" near breech, double triggers, side plates marked "MACHINE MADE" on right and "WM PARKHURST" on left. Serial number on barrels is 6364 and receiver 9865. Checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with replacement butt plate. Both hammers work. Butt stock is very nice with no noticeable defects. Forearm has some discoloration on the underside. Finish on the metal rates 50% or better and has thinned to a brown patina. The left firing pin retainer is missing. There is a gap under the left sideplate. Hang it up over the fireplace and spruce up the décor of your living room. Price is $200 plus $50 shipping.
