Antique Parker Brothers Grade 2 Double Barrel Shotgun with Rare 40 Inch Barrels

Manufactured in 1896. Single steel bead sight on the matted, concave solid rib which is marked "PARKER BROS MAKERS. MERIDEN. CONN. DAMASCUS STEEL." and chambers measured at 2 3/4 inches with a single extractor. The casehardened size "3" boxlock action displays standard grade 2 engraving of a pair of game birds on the left, right, and underside surrounded by light floral scroll engraving. The action features double triggers and an tang mounted manual safety switch. Lightly figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend with lightly engraved fittings, including the Deeley latch release and pistol grip stock with hard rubber grip cap and dog's head buttplate. According to the chart on page 279 of "The Parker Story" by Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote, this configuration is not listed as ever having been made, likely meaning that this gun is one-of-a-kind, or at least extremely rare. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .737/.738 inches; choke constrictions .034/.036 inches; minimum wall thickness .036/.042 inches; 1 13/16 inch drop at comb; 3 inch drop at heel; 14 7/16 inch length of pull; weight 10 lbs 2 oz.

ConditionFine, showing a mostly grey patina with some brown in areas and a strong Damascus pattern throughout. The action displays an attractive cleaned silver patina. There are a few areas of minor pitting on the metal surfaces. The refinished wood is very good with the forend showing evidence of sanding with scattered pock marks and the stock showing a few small marks and recut checkering. Mechanically excellent.
