Got this family gun and it is sooo cool. It is a Parker Bros SxS 12 guage with double triggers and a damascus barrel and a ton of engraving. The whole barrel has loopy loops going down it. There is also some pretty cool engravings on the rest of the metal, including a couple ducks on it. It says that it was patented in 1876. Serial number is 61771. I dated the gun to 1890. Wood looks to be of high quality but I cannot tell for sure what it is. I don't have pictures to load right now ( Im at work) but I can probably get some up later. Pulled the triggers and they both fired. GREAT SHAPE.
I don't know if its a $500 gun or a $5,000 gun.
Grandpa said that he took it to a gunsmith 10 or 15 years ago and the guy valued it at 5-10k and wanted to buy it on the spot. I doubt that it is worth that much. Anyone real educated on these guns? I am tempted to make it my grouse gun one of these days.
