Description:
Manufactured in 1930, this Parker is one of only 463 produced in this specific configuration, as documented on page 258 of The Parker Story by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote. Of those, just 17% were built with ejectors, making this an especially rare and desirable example.
Built with blued steel barrels featuring a single bead sight on the matted concave solid rib marked “PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDEN. CT. U.S.A. VULCAN. STEEL,” the gun has 3-inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are paired to a casehardened size 000 frame boxlock action with the standard Grade V zig-zag border engraving and “Parker Bros.” marked on each side. Features include double triggers and a tang-mounted automatic safety.
The gun is stocked with a lightly figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend and a round knob pistol grip stock fitted with a blank silver inscription shield and Parker dog’s head buttplate. The grade, gauge, barrel length, stock type, and ejectors are all confirmed on page 585 of Parker Gun Identification & Serialization by Price and Fjestad.
Measurements (R/L): Bore diameter nine inches from the breech .413″/.410″; choke constriction .016″/.014″; drop at comb 1 7/16″; drop at heel 2 1/2″; length of pull 13 11/16″; slight cast-on; weight 5 lbs. 4 oz.
Condition
Very fine overall, retaining 98% original blue finish on the barrels, original blue on the inside of the triggerguard with the balance a grey/brown patina, and 60% original case colors with the balance a fine silver patina speckled with brown. The metal shows some minor handling evidence, a few scratches at the muzzle, and some very minor freckling. The wood shows some scratches, light pressure marks, and mostly crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A great chance to own one of these rare American small bore shotguns!
