Manufactured in 1918 as one of only 93 total produced in this configuration according to the table on page 298 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price and Cote. The gun was built with blued steel barrels featuring dual white bead sights on the matted concave solid rib which is marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN, CT. U.S.A. ACME. STEEL.", and chambers measured 2 3/4 inches with ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened size 2 frame boxlock action which displays CH grade engraving consisting of scroll surrounding "PARKER BROS." on either side along with pointer in a field on the left, the right shows a pointing setter, and the underside shows a running stag. The gun features double triggers and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is fitted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered forearm with engraved forend iron as well as a pistol grip stock with carved drop points, factory grip cap, blank silver inscription oval, and an added Hawkins recoil pad. The above configuration is confirmed on page 558 of "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" by Price and Fjestad. Includes a leather mutton leg takedown case. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .742/.737 inches; choke constriction .037/.036 inches; minimum wall thickness .036/.038 inches; 1 3/8 inch drop at comb; 2 inch drop at heel; 14 3/8 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs. 4 oz.

Rating Definition:

Very good as refinished, with 95% blue finish, some blue finish on the action with flashes of original case colors, some scattered oxidation, and light handling evidence. The shortened wood is freshened with slightly ill-fitting recoil pad and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good, with the carry handle partially detached.
