      Between the years 1865 and 1945, more than 243,000 Parker shotguns were manufactured.
     During that 80 year span, many of the great, most treasured shotguns were produced by Parker. Several of the engraved specimens are considered among the best guns ever made.
     Prized by collectors, enjoyed by shooters, coveted by all who know and appreciate  fine guns, the Parker gun is truly "an immortal American classic."
