Parker Brothers D Grade 12 Gauge, 30 Inch Browned Damascus Barrels, Mfg 1900
Description: The caretakers of this Parker D Grade 12-gauge shotgun over the past 117 years did a wonderful job. The fine Damascus barrels retain their original brown, which is rare for a gun of this age that clearly has been used. The barrels do have the small dings one would expect to see on barrels that have not been refinished. The bores are bright and have no pitting. The receiver and other metal parts are well engraved, show normal wear, and are without any pitting or scratches. To better preserve the wood after a century of use, it has been reconditioned by drawing out damaging petroleum-based oils, applying a hand-rubbed stock-oil finish, and re-cutting the checkering. The 30 inch barrels are both choked Full (.040). [If a buyer desires, Back in Time will open chokes without charge.] The chambers are 2-5/8 inches, and the bores 9 inches from the breech are both .735. The gun has a number 2 frame and weighs 7 pounds 14 ounces. The drop at the comb is 1-7/8 inches and at the heel 2-7/8 inches. Length of pull is 14 inches to the end of a period Hawkins recoil pad. The wall thicknesses for the right barrel 9 inches from the muzzle are .030/.035/.027, and at the middle of the barrel are .038/.038/.030. The wall thicknesses for the left barrel are .031/.032/.027 and .037/.038/.032 respectively. The pull for both triggers is approximately 5 pounds. The gun is cast 1/8 inch off for the right-handed shooter. It locks up tight and on face. All serial numbers, 95622, match. The listed price of the gun does not include shipping costs paid by buyer. The inspection period is 7 days from receipt. This shotgun has been fired using low pressure shells produced for Damascus-barreled shotguns by RST Corporation. However, as for any antique or vintage shotgun, and especially one over a hundred years old, it is recommended that the new owner have it inspected by his or her gunsmith before firing and then only use shells that produce pressures for which the gun was designed. The gun carries a 30-day warrantee, during which Back in Time will have any mechanical problems documented by a professional gunsmith repaired or accept the return of the gun and refund the price of the gun and the return shipping cost.
