Parker DHE 20 Gauge sn234374 - 28" BARRELS, SINGLE TRIGGER, 60% CASE

What a delightful little bird gun we have here.  Some fine Parkers are made for lots of shooting at targets, pigeons, and the like; mostly heavier guns with long barrels where long walks up and down tough terrain are not the order of the day.  Then there are the Parker upland guns; light in hand, quick to shoulder, a delight to the eye, and deadly on the flush.  This fine little DHE, serial number 234374, is cut of the latter cloth with its factory 28” finely struck barrels and “O” frame action it comes to shoulder effortlessly.  One of 1500 or so DHE 20ga. guns ever produced, and one of only 564 made with 28” barrels, it is not an easy gun to find in such fine condition.  Only 3% of the D Grade guns had Parker Single Selective Triggers, so this is a RARE opportunity (likely less than a few hundred ever made) if you like single triggers.  Every upland bird hunter would consider this the perfect tool to carry afield.  There are few guns out there with high factory condition remaining, and even though this is a working gun, it is a grand investment that will appreciate as you enjoy its use.  At 5lbs. 15oz. it is a true delight.
