Blued, steel barrels featuring dual white bead sights on the matted, concave solid rib, single band of light engraving at either breech, and chambers marked at 2 3/4 inches with ejectors. The casehardened action bears the standard light zig-zag line engraved borders, "PARKER" on the underside, and standard markings on the water table. Double triggers and tang mounted automatic safety. Multi-point checkered walnut splinter forend with engraved fittings and Deeley latch release and pistol grip stock with Parker grip cap, "A.R.ALLARD" on the silver inscription shield, and a Parker Brothers dog's head buttplate. The configuration listed above is confirmed on page 606 of "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" by Price and Fjestad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameters 9 inches from the breeches both measure .734/.733 inches; choke constriction .009/.034 inches; minimum wall thickness .030/.029 inches; 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 3 inch drop at heel; 14 1/8 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 90% original blue and 60% original case colors with the balance a silver patina. The barrels and action show light handling evidence and some areas of discoloration. The wood has been revarnished and shows numerous dings and scratches and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
