Manufactured in 1928 on a size "1" frame. According to page 309 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote, this is one of only 16 produced in this configuration. Blued Acme Steel barrels with dual white bead sights on the solid, concave matted rib which is marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. ACME. STEEL." The barrels have 2 9/16 inch chambers with ejectors and standard markings on the flats. The casehardened boxlock action bears the standard BHE grade engraving incorporating fine floral scroll with "PARKER BROS" banners on either side and a pair of pointers on the left, two geese in flight on the underside, and a pair of setters on the right. Single trigger and tang mounted manual safety/selector switch. Nicely figured, fancy checkered walnut forearm with engraved fittings and a Deeley latch release and a straight grip stock with checkered and fleur-de-lis carved flats, blank brass inscription oval, and an added NOSHOC recoil pad. The configuration listed above is confirmed on page 570 of "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" by Price and Fjestad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameters measured 9 inches from the breech .670/.667 inches; choke constriction .024/.031 inches; minimum wall thickness .021/.022 inches; 1 1/4 inch drop at comb; 2 1/8 inch drop at heel; 13 5/8 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs 15 oz.

Fine, retaining 75% mix of original and reapplied blue finishes on the barrels and strong traces of the original case colors in the protected areas of the action. The balance of the barrels is a mottled grey patina and the action is mostly silvered with some case colors left in the protected areas. The wood has been revarnished, has minor marks, a few small stress cracks at the back of the tang and rear of the forearm, and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
