Manufactured in 1923 and was one of just some 353 built in this combination of gauge, grade, barrel steel, and barrel length with fewer having ejectors according to page 279 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote. The gun was built with blued barrels featuring a single bead sight on the matted concave solid rib which is marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. PARKER SPEC. STEEL", light engraving at the breech, and chambers measured 2 3/4 inch with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened boxlock action displaying standard GH engraving consisting of oval game bird scenes on the left, right, and underside surrounded by light scrollwork and line borders and featuring double triggers and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is mounted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with lightly engraved fittings as well as a pistol grip stock with factory hard rubber grip cap, silver inscription shield, and an orange rubber recoil pad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .665/.667 inches; choke constriction .009/.026 inches; minimum wall thickness .023/.021 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 1/2 inch drop at heel; 14 3/8 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 7 oz.

Very fine as professionally refurbished, retaining 95% plus blue finish with some minor areas of thinning, 25% case colors in the protected areas with a fine grey patina on the balance, some light handling evidence, some edge wear on the stock, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
