Barrel length 26-1/4", 12 bore. Open choke. This is an extremely early hammer shotgun with the 1875 3rd design that features the familiar Parker doll head hinge 1875 patent, with the early style fore-end wedge. These are referred to as the Lifter model, which was patented by Parker. This design predates the 1878 patent fore-end latch. All metal surfaces are brown patina. Walnut stocks are very good, proud to metal with no cracks, round knob, double triggers, exposed hammers, smooth steel shotgun butt. 14" LOP to trigger. Very good bore. Tight lock up with no wiggle. Working condition. Nice old Parker from early production.
