Description:

Manufactured in 1933 on a "000" frame. According to page 258 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote, this was one of only 463 produced in this configuration. Blued, Vulcan steel barrels featuring single bead sight on the matted, concave solid rib marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. VULCAN . STEEL", single band of light engraving at either breech, and chambers marked and measured at 3 inches with single extractor. The casehardened action bares the standard light zig-zag line engraved borders and "PARKER BROS" on both sides and standard markings on the water table. Double triggers and tang mounted automatic safety. Multi-point checkered walnut splinter forend with engraved fittings and round knob semi-pistol grip stock with blank silver inscription shield and a Parker Brothers dog's head butt plate. The configuration listed above is confirmed on page 589 of "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" by Price and Fjestad.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 98% original blue on the barrels and cleaned action leaving a mix of silver and brown patina with original case colors in the protected areas. The wood is very fine as revarnished, with very nicely executed repairs on both flats behind the action and sharp freshened checkering. Mechanically excellent.
