Manufactured in 1927. Dual bead sights on the matte concave rib marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN, CT. U.S.A. TITANIC STEEL", 2 3/4 inch chambers, standard markings on the flats, automatic ejectors, and skeet/skeet chokes. Standard D grade engraving on the receiver with hunting dogs and the Parker Bros. banner marking on the sides and a group of four pheasants on the underside. The balance features tight floral and scroll engraving. With double triggers, matching visible numbers, and automatic sliding tang safety. Multi-point checkered splinter forearm with engraved fittings and pistol grip stock with blank silver initial oval and lightly engraved skeleton buttplate over a checkered bare butt. Barrel and stock measurements are: bore diameter at 9 inches from breech .735/.736 inch; minimum wall thickness .027/.027 inch; drop at comb 1 5/8 inches; drop at heel 2 1/2 inches; length of pull 14 1/4 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. 98% blue finish remains on the barrels with some light forearm marks, small scratches, and sharp markings. The receiver has 50% original case colors with sharp engraving, handling marks mostly on the trigger guard, and a dark gray patina on the under side. The re-oiled wood is fine with crisp checkering, some small dings, and mottled gray/blue patina on the buttplate. The barrels have likely been professionally shortened to their current length, but are still touching. Mechanically excellent.
