Manufactured in 1929, the gun was built with blued barrels featuring dual white bead sights on the matted concave solid rib which is marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. ACME STEEL.", light engraving at the breech, and 2 5/8 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened boxlock action which displays three nicely cut game scenes surrounded by scrollwork. The game scenes consist of a pair of setters on the left side, a pair of mallards taking off from the water on the underside, and a pair of pointers on the right side. The gun features a single selective trigger and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is mounted with a beautifully figured and fancy border checkered beavertail forend with engraved fittings as well as a pistol grip stock with fleur-de-lis carved drop points, "JFB" marked on the gold inscription oval on the hard rubber grip cap, raised cheekpiece, and an orange rubber recoil pad. This gun is one of at most 57 guns built in this configuration of grade, gauge, barrel steel, barrel length, and single trigger according to page 309 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote. The grade, action type, barrel length, ejectors, stock type, and single trigger are confirmed on page 575 of "Parker Gun Identification and Serialization" by Price and Fjestad while the beavertail forend is not, indicating it as a possible replacement. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .730/.731 inches; choke constriction .028/.033 inches; minimum wall thickness .030/.031 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 5/8 inch drop at heel; 14 1/16 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs. 5 oz.

Very fine as refurbished, retaining 97% blue finish with the loss on the lower tang, 40% case colors with some muting and the balance a deep silver patina, some scattered patches of dried grease, a few light marks in the wood, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. A great chance at a rare Parker Brothers configuration!
