Description:
Take a step back in time with this beautiful Parker Brothers D Grade 12 gauge with a set of two-barrels. Both barrels are serial numbered to the gun. The 28” barrels are choked Skeet (.005) and IC (.009). The 30”barrels are choked Full (.035) and Full (.035). The gun is on a number 1-1/2 frame. Manufactured in 1895, this gun is properly reconditioned to better preserve it for another century of use by shooters and hunters. The natural beauty of the well-figured walnut stock is restored by drawing out petroleum-based oils, which darken and damage wood, and replacing them with natural oils through the application of a hand rubbed stock oil finish. Dents and scratches are steamed and sanded out, as possible without changing the character of the gun, and the checking is re-cut. The fine Damascus steel barrels are refinished using the traditional process of slow-rust-bluing and etching. The engraving on the receiver and forearm metal is crisp, and the metal has an appropriate patina. The bores of both barrels are bright.
The cast is neutral and length of pull is 14” to the skeleton buttplate and checkered butt. The trigger pull for both triggers is 6 lb. Drop at the comb is 1-7/8 inches and at the heel is 3 inches. Both the 28” and 30” barrels have 2-5/8” chambers. For the 28” barrels, the wall thicknesses for the right barrel at 9” from the muzzle are .032/.027/.032 (top/side/bottom) and at the middle of the barrel are .033/.030/.033. For the left barrel the wall thicknesses are .032/.031/.026 and .035/.035/.025, respectively. For the 30” barrels, the wall thicknesses for the right barrels at 9” from the muzzle are .033/.033/.030 and at the middle of the barrel are .038/.041/.035. For the left barrel the wall thicknesses are .035/.035/.032 and .037/.041/.035, respectively. The gun weighs 7 lb 6 oz. The gun locks up tight and all serial numbers, 84550, match.
The price does not include shipping costs paid by buyer. The inspection period is 7 days from receipt. The shotgun has been fired using low pressure 2-1/2” shells produced for Damascus-barreled shotguns by RST Corporation. However, as for any antique or vintage shotgun, and especially one over a hundred and twenty 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.
