Single nickel bead sight on the concave, matte rib marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. VULCAN STEEL" flanked by inward pointing arrows, 3 inch chambers, single extractor, and improved modified/improved modified chokes. The barrel lug is marked "000/410" denoting the frame size and chambers. Standard VH grade zig-zag and light scroll engraved borders on the frame with dual triggers and an automatic tang mounted safety.

The stock dimensions are: drop at comb 1 1/2 inch; drop at heel 2 3/4 inch; length of pull 14 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. 95% original blue finish remains with scattered light dings and scratches, some slight thinning around the breech face and muzzle. 30% subdued, original case colors remain with the balance a slightly mottled gray/brown patina exhibiting some small dings, and mild handling marks. The wood is very fine as freshened with well defined checkering, and some very minor impressions. Mechanically excellent. Avery desirable Parker small bore in the original configuration.
