Description:
Exceedingly rare gun made in 1939, this is the only 3" marked "CHE" Grade I've ever seen.  This exact gun, pictured on page 296 of the "Parker Story".  The gun made on a #2 frame (rare to find this late) with a beavertail forend, high raised rib, Parker Single Selective Trigger, auto ejectors, capped pistol grip buttstock, and original skeleton buttplate.  The gun has fabulously figured American Walnut stocks with what are unquestionably factory sling swivels.  Beautifully engraved by Runge with large flying duck on the trigger plate.  This is a beast of a gun and the rarity cannot be overstated!  

Overall the gun remains in super condition.  Barrels and trigger guard retain about all of an older restored factory correct quality rust blue.  Receiver retains about 40% original case color- engraving is super crispy and well defined.  Stocks are sound and retain most of an older professionally restored finish with only minor handling marks.  Bores are brilliant and shiny.  Mechanics are crisp and the gun is tight on the face.  

Having messed around with Parkers for more than 25 years, I have only ever seen 1 other late Remington 12ga Gun marked for 3" shells- that gun a DHE Grade.  These guns are rare as hens teeth - this gun is rarer than a CHE 410ga of which I have handled 4 authentic examples.  This fantastic gun is priced at $25,000 plus shipping to your FFL.  If you are in the market for an incredily rare and desirable classic American Waterfowler, look no further.  Please dont hesitate to contact me with any questions or reasonable offers on this truly outstanding Parker at (704) 280-2382 or via PM on this site.
