Manufactured in the post 1934 Remington period as a standard VH Grade gun with a single trigger according to page 590 of Price and Fjestad's "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization", and subsequently upgraded to the current highly attractive AAHE configuration possibly by Remington and/or Del Grego. The gun has blued steel barrels with dual white bead sights on the matted vent rib, AA Grade markings on the flats, beautiful 2 3/4 inch wedges of floral scroll engraving at either breech, chambers marked 2 3/4 inches with ejectors, chokes marked "MOD"/"FULL", and two Remington repair codes possibly signifying that the upgrade was done at the factory at least partially. The barrels are fitted to the casehardened boxlock action which displays sculpted fences and gorgeous floral scroll engraving with tasteful use of the negative space which surrounds "PARKER" inlaid in gold on the underside before flowing onto the toplever, triggerguard, and both tangs. The gun features a single selective gold trigger, gold inlaid serial number on the lower tang, and a tang mounted manual safety with gold inlaid "S" indicator. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and fancy fleur-de-lis checkered walnut beavertail forend with Deeley latch release and engraved fittings as well as a pistol grip stock with checkered fleur-de-lis carved drop points, light engraved blank gold inscription oval, and engraved skeleton buttplate over the checkered bare butt. The stock is stamped in the triggerguard groove "LDG/236593/12.12.77" for Larry Del Grego. This date is later than both Remington repair codes, so either Del Grego did the entirity of the upgrade at this time, or restocked the already Remington upgraded gun. Either way, as an employee of Remington, or through his family's shop, Larry Del Grego undoubtedly had his hand in the upgrading of this wonderful Parker. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameters nine inches from the breech measure .735/.735 inches; choke constriction .010/.032 inches; minimum wall thickness .030/.032 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 1/8 inch drop at heel; 14 1/2 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs. 3 oz.

Exceptionally fine as professionally upgraded to current configuration, retaining 99% blue/casehardened, and gold finishes with minor handling evidence, a few tiny scratches, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
