Manufactured in 1936. Features dual white bead sights on the concave, matte solid rib marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. TITANIC STEEL". The barrels have 2 3/4 inch chambers, auto ejectors, and full/full chokes. The receiver is engraved with dogs on point in a field scene on both the left and right sides. The underside is engraved with four quail. The bottom of the frame is inscribed "PARKER" indicating that it was manufactured after the Parker name was acquired by Remington. The rest of the action is engraved with a tight swirling scroll pattern. The trigger guard, fences, and break lever are similarly engraved. Fitted with a single selective trigger and manual tang mounted thumb safety. Mounted on a multi-point checkered splinter forearm with engraved hardware and straight grip stock with tear drop flats, blank initial oval, and an engraved skeleton buttplate over a checkered bare butt. Included is a second 16 gauge barrel set with 2 3/4 inch chambers, improved modified/full chokes, Titanic Steel rib markings, auto ejectors, and a checkered beavertail forearm numbered to the gun with the suffix "2". The forearm lugs on the barrel sets are numbered "1" and "2" respectively and the barrel flats of each set at stamped with a "DWW3" Remington date code indicating possible factory repair work. Barrel and stock measurements are: bore diameter at 9 inches from breech .664/.664 inches; wall thickness at 9 inches from breech .043/.043 inches; 1 5/8 inch drop at comb; 2 1/4 inch drop at heel; 13 3/4 inch length of pull.

Rating Definition:

Very good as possibly factory refurbished. 95% of the blue finish remains on barrel set "1" with clear rib markings, light handling marks, and some oxidation on the muzzle. The frame is very fine with strong visible case colors, light handling marks, and crisp engraving. The wood is very fine with sharp checkering, light handling marks, and freshened varnish finish. Mechanically excellent. The extra barrel set and forearm are very fine with light handling marks and some minor edge wear near the muzzle.
