Manufactured in 1923 on a size "2" frame. According to page 309 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote, this was one of only 136 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 3/4 inch chambers with ejectors, single bands of engraving at either breech, 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 selective trigger and tang mounted manual safety 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 factory recoil pad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameters measured 9 inches from the breech .731/.732 inches; choke constriction .030/.034 inches; minimum wall thickness .037/.036 inches; 1 5/8 inch drop at comb; 2 1/8 inch drop at heel; 14 3/16 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs 15 oz.

Very fine, retaining 90% plus original blue on the barrels with some thinning and 90% case colors on the action with some silvering mixed in. The metal surfaces have some minor handling evidence and a few scratches. The trigger guard shows 85% original blue and the case colors on the forearm fittings are an attractive silver. The wood shows a few light scratches and a tiny 1/8 inch hairline crack at the rear of the upper tang, otherwise the wood is very fine with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
