Description:
I have for sale a nice original Parker DHE in 20 Gauge. This gun has several things that make it rather unique. First of all it has 30 inch barrels. Most 20 gauge Parkers have either 26 or 28 inch barrels. These barrels have both barrels with bores measuring .617 and both with .025 of constriction which is a little odd especially for a 20 gauge. But the most unusual thing about the gun is that it was ordered with no safety. These features lead me to believe this gun was either going to be used for trap or duck hunting and since it was sold in Canada and it was ordered with 2 7/8 inch chambers originally I'm assuming it was going to be used for waterfowl. I have the Parker letter taken from the order books attached so you can see how it was ordered. There are only two things that vary from the order letter and that is the length of pull is 14 1/8 not 14 1/2 but I'm assuming that is a typo when entered in the book or when the letter was created as the drop at heel is exactly 2 1/2 inches as specified in the letter and if the stock was 14 1/2 inches as specified in the letter it would have more drop. Also the weight is more than specified in the letter at 7 pounds 1 ounce. As you can see all numbers match on this gun, screw heads are excellent, and lockup is tight with top lever right of center. Barrels have a nice chime when struck. All in all a very nice and unusual Parker DHE with great crisp trigger pulls and ejectors that cast the hulls strongly and in time. One additional thing. The wood to metal fit on this gun is extrodinary. The wood seems to melt into the metal and doesn't appear that it hasn't been taken apart ever. Price of the gun is $9800 plus $75 shipping to your FFL. As always there is a three day non-firing inspection period with the buyer paying shipping charges if returned.
