Parker Bros. 28 Gauge S X S - Very Rare

Parker made very few 28 gauge side by sides. This one has 28 " barrels and is fully restored. It has a new butt stock patterned on the original, but with a higher grade  of wood. It is the same dimensions and checkering as original with a new butt plate same as original. The forend is original. The woodwork is by Fred Hamm. The barrels are perfect thanks to gunsmith Steve Holborn. Steve did all the metal work and arranged for the exquisite case hardening and the blueing by a Parker expert. There are double triggers and no auto ejectors. This gun was made in 1905.

If you look online you will find the odd 28 ga. Parker with price tags from $15 K to $50 K US. Parkers are much prized in the US and are considered by many to be the best American made SxS. There were only about 1750 guns made by Parker Bros. in 28 gauge. Wes at Ellwood Epps had never seen one until this one. This is a beautiful little gun to handle and shoot.

The gun has been viewed at Ellwood Epps and at Accuracy Plus. In both cases they valued the shotgun at $15,000 C. I am asking $12000 including shipping. Insurance is on you.

I am happy to discuss the gun and it's history as I know it , but please, serious inquiries and interest only.
