Manufactured in 1923 as one of just 546 guns built in this configuration of grade, gauge, barrel steel, and barrel length according to Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote on page 291 of "The Parker Story" with fewer still, 64 percent, having automatic ejectors like this example, and just 3 percent with the factory single trigger, making this a very rare gun. The gun was built with blued steel barrels featuring a single nickel bead sight on the matted concave solid rib marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. TITANIC STEEL", light engraving at the breech, and chambers measured 2 3/4 inches with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a casehardened size 0 frame boxlock action which displays DH Grade engraving consisting of floral scroll work surrounding a trio of game scenes showing a setter in a field on the right, a quartet of pheasants on the underside, and a pointer in a field on the left. The gun features a single selective trigger and a tang mounted automatic safety. The gun is fitted with an attractively figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with engraved forend iron and a pistol grip stock with carved drop points, factory grip cap, "La F" in the silver inscription oval, and an engraved skeleton buttplate around a checkered butt. The above grade, barrel length, barrel steel, stock type, gauge, ejectors, and single trigger are confirmed on page 519 of "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" by Price and Fjestad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .619/.618 inches; choke constriction .014/.022 inches; minimum wall thickness .025/.028 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 13/16 inch drop at heel; 14 5/8 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 3 oz.

Very fine, retaining 85% plus original blue finish with much of the loss on the triggerguard/lower tang, 30% original case colors mainly in the protected areas with the balance a fine silver patina, scattered scratches and spotting on the barrels, some dings and scratches on the wood, crack on the right side of the stock head just below the top tang, and overall sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent.
