W.Parker, Boar Hunting Rifle, CAL: 54, MFG: late 1830's, SN: 8388, Percussion Muzzleloader, 30 1/4'' barrel. This gun was made by William Parker of 233 High Holborn, London 1793-1841. Parker was Gunmaker to the Duke of Kent, Prince Edward & William IV. The top of the barrel is marked ''W.Parker'' & ''Maker To His Majesty. Holborn.London''. The side plate is marked ''W.Parker''. The side plate, hammer, upper tang, trigger guard, buttplate, screws & metal accent components are all tastefully hand engraved with floral/ornamental scroll patterns. The checkered & beaded cheek straight grip wood stock is very good & solid. There are contusions, dings, scratches & scrapes, with protective oils added over time, contributing to some areas darkening. The laminted steel pattern on the barrel is crisp & the browned finish is excellent. The side plate, hammer, upper tang & trigger guard are all left-in-the-white. Bore is good & bright, with deep grooves, & intermittent roughness/pitting. 2-tier folding leaf rear sight & bead front sight. Bayonet bar on right side of barrel. Smooth metal buttplate. Original steel cleaning rod. Sling provisions on belly of stock & under barrel. An excellent example of the high quality craftsmanship they could produce in the 1800's. Blackpowder, No FFL Req. - Value: 1000 to 2000
