Description:

The included Parker Brothers Collector's Association letter confirms the serial number, grade, barrel length, and original stock configuration. According to the chart on page 406 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote, only 15 B grade single barrel trap shotguns were manufactured with 30 inch barrels between 1917 and 1942. Dual white bead sights on the matte, vent rib barrel marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN, CT. U.S.A. ACME STEEL" with a 2 3/4 inch chamber, standard proofs on the flat, Remington "PRR3" code indicating return to the Remington factory in June of 1953, and improved modified choke. The action features 85% coverage fine floral and scroll engraving, standard maker's marks, and matching serial number and grade marking on the water table. Fancy fleur-de-lis carved, checkered beavertail forearm and pistol grip stock with engraved metal grip cap and solid rubber recoil pad. Length of pull is 14 inches. With cloth and leather modern takedown case with non-matching "236013" 32 inch vent rib barrel with lengthened chamber, modified choke, and independent forearm with matching numbered (to the barrel) attaching iron.

Rating Definition:

Good. 75% of the Remington refinished blue remains on the barrel with areas of edge wear, small surface scratches, traces of light spotting, and repaired/replaced sight beads. The action is fair with areas of pronounced pitting around the right receiver/stock junction and upper tang. The replacement trigger guard has been repaired and refinished. The replacement wood is good with well-defined checkering and small dings and dents throughout. The extra barrel and forearm are good as refinished. Mechanically very good.
