Parker Brothers Shotguns

The Parker Brothers opened their doors in 1866. They produced shotguns for shooters of all walks of life.

The Parker Brothers produced double-barreled side-by-side shotguns that were intended for bird hunting and sport shooting. Their shotguns were manufactured in a variety of grades that ranged from the affordable Trojan to the exquisite Invincible.

Parker shotguns have been used in the hands of ranchers, movie stars, and titans of industry. They were designed to be working guns and heavy use was expected. Parker Brother’s shotguns were often found in the field, and to this day, Parker collectors rarely let their shotguns sit in a safe.
