Our Assessment: From Wikipedia “Parker Bros., also known at various times as Parker Brothers Manufacturing Company, Parker Brothers Guns, and Parker Bros. Shotguns, was an American firm almost exclusively producing shotguns from approximately 1867 through 1942 . During these years, approximately 242,000 guns were produced in various grades and are widely considered the finest and most collectible American shotgun.” This is a Parker Bros. Grade I VH (Vulcan Steel, Hammerless) made in 1924 and retains about 80% of its metal finish. The stocks have sharp fit to the metal and original butt plate, the bores are bright with a few tiny bumps that translated from some marks on the outside of the barrel but are not deep enough to cause any accuracy issues. The action functions correctly, the shotgun points effortlessly and has solid construction. For its age and utilitarian purpose, this item has survived quite well and will do well in any collection. Please see our pictures and good luck.
