Manufactured in 1923, 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.", band of engraving at the breech, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened size 2 frame boxlock action which displays three beautifully cut game scenes surrounded by scrollwork consisting of a pair of pointing dogs on the left side, a trio of quail in a field on the underside, and a pair of pointing dogs on the right side all rendered in fine detail. The gun features double triggers and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is fitted with a highly figured and fully checkered splinter forend with engraved fittings as well as a pistol grip stock with fleur-de-lis carved drop points, fancy checkering, "R.F.P." engraved in the gold inscription oval on the grip cap, and an engraved skeleton buttplate around the checkered butt. This gun is one of just 136 guns built in this configuration of grade, gauge, barrel steel, and barrel length according to page 309 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote. The grade, gauge, action type, barrel length, ejectors, and stock type are confirmed on page 518 of "Parker Gun Identification and Serialization" by Price and Fjestad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .733/.731 inches; choke constriction .033/.033 inches; minimum wall thickness .033/.035 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 5/8 inch drop at heel; 14 9/16 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs.

Very fine, retaining 98% original blue finish on the barrels, traces of blue on the triggerguard, and 30% original case colors on the action with the balance a fine silver patina. The metal shows a few scratches and some minor spotting on the barrels. The wood has a few dings and scratches, some thinned areas of varnish, and mostly crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
