This shotgun was manufactured in 1920 and has dual bead sights on the solid matte rib. With 2 7/8 inch chambers, auto ejectors and choked modified/full. The top of the rib is marked "[arrow] PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. PARKER SPEC. STEEL [arrow]". The casehardened box lock action features scroll engraving with game bird scenes on the right, left and underside. The water table is marked with the five-line/four-date patent information on one side and "GH/190794/2" on the other. With a single non-selective trigger and automatic thumb safety. Mounted on a multi-point checkered splinter forearm and pistol grip stock with a hard rubber grip cap, blank initial shield and a checkered naked butt. Length of pull is 14 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very good as professionally refinished, with 85% of the blue on the barrels, areas of slight thinning and gray patina, light edge wear, and some cleaned spotting under the forearm. The barrel rib has a small hole in it just forward of the forearm lug indicating high temperature bluing. The frame has areas of vibrant original case colors, and the balance has aged to a smooth silver/gray patina with some light handling marks and evidence of light pitting on the left fence that has been cleaned. The wood is very good overall with light handling marks, small indentations and some bruised checkering.
