Manufactured in 1924 as one of 99 produced in this combination of grade, gauge, barrel length, and barrel steel according to page 309 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote, with less than 10 percent of total production having a single trigger like this example. This 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. ACME STEEL.", a band of engraving at the breech, and chambers measuring 3 inches with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened boxlock action which displays sculpted fences and three highly attractive game scenes surrounded by floral scrollwork. All three of the game scenes depict a pair of pointing dogs in a field scene rendered in attractive detail. The gun features a single selective trigger with crossed "P"s Parker marking and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is fitted with a highly figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings as well as a pistol grip stock with checkered and fleur-de-lis carved drop points, fancy checkering, blank gold inscription oval on the grip cap, and a replacement red rubber recoil pad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .734/.735 inches; choke constriction .037/.037 inches; minimum wall thickness .036/.037 inches; 1 5/8 inch drop at comb; 2 5/16 inch drop at heel; 13 15/16 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs. 7 oz.

Very fine overall, retaining 95% original blue finish, 50% original case colors with the balance a silver patina, light handling evidence, some spotting on the barrels, some varnish wear on the wood, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The pad is slightly ill-fitting. Mechanically excellent. A rare opportunity to buy a rare American gun!
