Description:

Manufactured in 1918. According to page 279 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote, only 40 of these GH Grade guns in 20 gauge with 32 inch barrels were built, making this quite a rare gun. Dual white bead sights on the matted solid rib which is marked "PARKER BROS MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. PARKER SPEC. STEEL", standard markings, chambers lengthened to 3 inches with extractor, and choke constrictions of .025/.025 inches. The casehardened action features standard GH engraving consisting of oval game bird scenes on the left, right, and underside surrounded by light scrollwork and line borders. The gun features double triggers and tang mounted automatic safety. Lightly figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with silver inscription shield, factory grip cap, and added Pachmayr Old English recoil pad. Includes an extra matching numbered set of 30 inch barrels with its own forend, 2 1/2 inch chambers, and choke constrictions of .013/.027 inches. Barrel and stock measurements for the 30 inch set (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .624/.624 inches; minimum wall thickness .021/.026 inches. Barrel and stock measurements for the 32 inch set (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .621/.627 inches; minimum wall thickness .022/.019 inches; 1 11/16 inch drop at comb; 2 9/16 inch drop at heel; 14 1/4 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs. 13 oz.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 95% refinished blue, 20% original case colors with the balance a mix of brown and silver patina, scattered minor spotting on the barrels, and overall mild handling evidence. The wood is very good with numerous small dings and scratches and crisp checkering. The extra barrel set is also very fine. Mechanically excellent.
