Description:
Gorgeous early Parker CH 12ga game gun made with 30" Bernard barrels in 1893 for the World's Fair Columbian Exposition in Chicago, IL. The gun is a 2 frame gun made with splinter forend, capped pistol grip buttstock, fishtail top lever, double triggers and original skeleton buttplate. Engraved with unique engraving pattern with birds on the sides and dogs on bottom. See photos.
Overall the gun remains in pleasing original condition. Barrels retain virtually all of a perfect rebrown and are indistinguishable from original. Action retains about 20% original color. Stocks are sound and retain about 85% finish with only minor handling marks. Buttplate has toned gray. Bores are mostly bright and shiny with minor beginning orange peel ahead of the chambers and mechanics are crisp. Gun is tight.
