Antique Factory Engraved Parker Brothers BHE Grade Double Barrel Shotgun

Manufactured in 1891. "Parker Gun Identification and Serialization" by Price verifies the grade and straight grip stock. Single bead sight on the matte, concave rib marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CONN U.S.A. ACME STEEL" with 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors, standard markings on the flats, modified/full chokes, and "12" and "1" marked on the barrel lug indicating the frame size. The casehardened receiver is fully engraved with flowing, floral scroll designs surrounding dog and game scenes of a pair of setters on the right, pointers on the left, and a stag and hind scene on the underside, with "5/64887/B" stamped on the water table. With dual triggers and automatic sliding tang safety. The trigger guard is engraved to match with a scene of a pair of pointers. Fully checkered splinter forearm with engraved fittings, Deeley latch, and straight grip stock with checkered side panels, carved fleur-de-lis accents, engraved tangs, gold initial oval inscribed "TB" and lightly engraved skeleton buttplate over a checkered bare butt. With cloth covered takedown case with Parker Gun Collector's Association interior label, oil bottle, snap caps, cleaning rod, and rod heads. Bore and stock measurements (R/L): chambers measured at 2 3/4 inches; bores 9 inches from the breech measuring at .732/.730; chokes measured .023/.033; minimum wall thickness .033/.027; drop at comb 1 1/2 inches; drop at heel 2 1/4 inches; length of pull 14 3/8 inches; weight 7 lbs. 3 oz.

ConditionFine. The barrels are Remington factory replacements dated to 1935 with 95% of the original blue finish remaining, some light edge wear, traces of mild gray patina, and some small surface scratches. The receiver has an overall silver gray patina with evidence of light cleaning and faint spotting on the trigger guard and tangs. The wood is also fine with a small hairline crack at the right rear of the forearm, well defined, mildly worn checkering, and small dings throughout. Mechanically excellent.
