PARKER-HALE GOPHER GUN. The square 33-1/2” stake holds a 12 ga blank chamber and the drop weight. The drop weight has a decal identifying the maker as Parker Hale of Birmingham, England. The blank shell is loaded in the lower cast iron chamber and the firing pin fastened on top. The trip wire is attached to the hook on the opposite side of the stake and when this is pulled it causes the weight to drop and set off the cartridge. These are usually called gopher guns but are actually burglar alarms, simply making noise to scare off intruders. CONDITION: Retains most of the black paint. Decal is fine. 4-52721 FS187 (500-800)
