The barrels are fitted to a casehardened boxlock action which displays the standard V Grade zig-zag border engraving with "Parker Bros." on either side and features double triggers and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is fitted with a lightly figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend that has one number in the serial number remarked, likely originally by the factory, and a pistol grip stock with factory grip cap, blank silver inscription shield, and Parker dog's head buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall, retaining 95% original blue finish with much of the loss at the lower tang, 95% original case colors, a few patches of brown patina, a few scratches on the barrels, light handling marks in the wood, and crisp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
