Parker Brothers ~ GH Grade 2 Damascus ~ 28 Gauge

Parker Brothers GH Grade Shotgun The Parker Brothers GH Grade is a high‑end Grade 2 hammerless side‑by‑side shotgun, introduced in 1875, known for its fine engraving, quality walnut, and Damascus‑pattern barrels. This example is from 1901. Parker Brothers, founded in 1866 by Charles, Wilbur, and Dexter Parker, produced some of the finest American sporting shotguns. The GH Grade is one of the "Grade 2" hammerless models, with "GH" denoting a specific configuration (hammerless, certain gauge/stock setup). It was marketed as a more ornate, well‑balanced gun than the average Grade 2. GH Grade Parkers are sought after by collectors for their blend of craftsmanship, ornate engraving, and historical significance. The Parker Brothers GH Grade is a late‑19th‑century, hammerless Grade 2 side‑by‑side, prized for its fine engraving, quality walnut, and Damascus barrels, representing the upper end of Parker's sporting shotgun line.
