Description:
Listed by SN in "THE PARKER STORY" as a show gun in the Boston Sportsman's Expo in 1898, this rare gun was originally made as a #3 Frame 10ga BH Grade with 32" barrels. Made with gold shield capped pistol grip cap, double triggers, extractors, and skeleton buttplate. The gun is extremely finely engraved as seen in the photos. Stunning piece of European Walnut with Skeleton BP which is included with the gun, though the gun currently has a professionally installed Silver's type pad on it with original widow's peak remaining untouched. During the period, the gun's barrels were shortened to 31-1/4", however the muzzles do very nearly touch and they appear to have proper crowning, so this could have been done at the Parker Factory, though there is no mention of it in the PGCA letter.
Overall the gun is in fine original condition. The barrels retain about 90% pattern with brilliant shiny bores. There are traces of original case color remaining. The stocks retain about 98% of an expertly restored finish with checkering having been picked up.
These Parker show guns are incredibly difficult to source and this gun has a tremendous amount of merit and eye appeal. It is priced at $7995 shipped and insured and can be shipped direct to your door as an antique. Please dont hesitate to contact me at (704) 280-2382 or via PM on this site with any questions or reasonable offers on this gun.
