Single white bead sight on the matted, solid rib marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. VULCAN. STEEL". The barrels show standard markings, light engraving at the breeches, doll's head extension, and chambers measured at 2 3/4 inches. Casehardened action displays the standard VH grade light border engraving with "Parker Bros." marked on either side. The gun features double triggers and an automatic tang mounted safety switch. Multi-point checkered walnut splinter forearm with Deeley latch and engraved fitting and pistol grip stock with hard rubber grip cap, blank inscription shield, and dog's head buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 95% original blue on the shortened and 60% original case colors mixed with the balance a mix of brown and grey patina. The metal shows light handling/use evidence and a few minor scratches along the barrels. The wood is very good with scattered dings and scratches, rounded toe, and worn but well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
