The vent rib barrel is equipped with a large ivory front bead and features a full choke, an ejector and a 3 inch chamber. The barrel lug is marked "20" for the gauge. The barrel rib is marked "PARKER BROS MAKERS, MERIDEN CONN., MADE IN U.S.A." towards the breech. Floral scroll engraving is featured on the frame which is marked "PARKER BROS." on both sides. The engraved scrollwork extends to the break lever, trigger guard and forearm hardware. The barrel is numbered to the gun. The water table is stamped with the serial number and patent dates markings. Mounted on a triple X fancy replacement pistol grip stock with an Old English solid recoil pad, blank initial oval, Parker hard rubber grip cap with fine line carved border checkering, and checkered semi-beavertail forearm.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refurbished to factory specification with 99% blue remaining. The receiver retains most of the subdued colors. The near mint replacement wood shows some light handling marks and crisp checkering. An extremely rare Parker Bros. 34 inch barrel 20 gauge trap gun. Writer cannot recall ever seeing another 20 gauge Parker Single Barrel Trap Gun!
