This gun was completed in November, 1941, according to the Remington "RK" date code and is just 197 serial numbers ahead of the final Parker gun built, number 242487. The gun is one of just 85 guns built in this configuration of grade, gauge, barrel steel (both Titanic and Chrome-moly), and barrel length according to Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote on page 291 of "The Parker Story" with only 64 percent having automatic ejectors like this example, and fewer still, only 3 percent, having a single trigger, making this an incredibly rare gun absent from almost any American shotgun collection, and possibly the only one of its kind. The gun was built with blued steel barrels featuring dual bead sights on the matted concave solid rib which is correctly unmarked, light engraving at the breech, chokes marked "IMP CYL"/"MOD" and chambers marked 2 7/8 inches with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened boxlock action which displays DH Grade engraving consisting of floral scroll work surrounding a trio of game scenes showing a pointer in a field on the right, a trio of pheasants on the underside, and a setter in a field on the left, all beautifully cut. The gun features a single trigger and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is fitted with an attractive highly-figured and multi-point checkered beavertail forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with carved drop points, blank silver inscription oval, and an engraved skeleton buttplate around a checkered butt. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .552/.552 inches; choke constriction .013/.002 inches; minimum wall thickness .033/.034 inches; 1 5/8 inch drop at comb; 2 3/8 inch drop at heel; 14 1/16 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 3 oz.
