Description:

Manufactured in 1922 on a "00" size frame. Blued barrels with single steel bead sight on the matte concave rib marked "PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. VULCAN STEEL" with 2 1/2 inch chambers with single extractor, and standard markings on the flats. The casehardened boxlock action displays light zig-zag border around the receiver on all sides and features double triggers and a tang mounted automatic safety switch. Multi-point checkered splinter forend with Deeley latch release and pistol grip stock with hard rubber grip cap, blank inscription shield, and Parker Brothers dog's head buttplate. The above configuration is confirmed, with the exception of the barrel length (which have been cut to 24 inches), on page 505 of "Parker Gun Identification and Serialization" by Price and Fjestad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter at nine inches from breech .556/.553; choke constriction .001/.001 inches; minimum wall thickness .027/.025 inches; 1 15/16 inch drop at comb; 3 1/4 inch drop at heel; 14 1/4 inch length of pull; cast-on; weight 5 lbs 7 oz.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining 75% original blue on the barrels, 20% original case colors concentrated in the protected areas with the remainder an attractive silver patina, a few areas of minor spotting, and overall mild handling evidence. The wood is also fine with some chipping around the metal inlets, several crack repairs coming of the tangs, scattered light dings and scratches, and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
