This DHE 12ga Parker has original Titanic barrels with full length matted top rib and large steel front bead. It is a 1-1/2 Frame gun with an unstruck barrel weight of 3lbs. 15oz. It has auto ejectors, a Miller Single Trigger, and non auto-safety with the single trigger selector on the top tang. Capped full pistol grip buttstock is of nicely figured walnut checkered in three point pattern with tear drop behind frame. There is a vacant silver oval near the toe and what is likely the original hardened leather faced pad. The forearm is checkered in standard DHE pattern with engraved Deeley release and engraved steel tip. Action is engraved in standard DHE pattern with Pointer on left, Setter on right and four pheasants on floorplate all surrounded by well executed Parker scroll. All visible serial numbers match. The gun is excellent condition overall. The barrels retain approximately 90% original blue with an area or two of touch up near the breech ends. The receiver retains approximately 70% nice original case colors, particularly strong on sides. Stocks are sound and retain most of their original finish. Trigger guard retains about 70% original blue. Pad has hardened. Bores are bright and shiny and mechanics are crisp. Trigger appears to work well, as most Miller triggers do!
