There is no more in vogue American shotgun than a small gauge Parker with 32" Titanic Steel Barrels. No. 0 frame with unstruck barrel weight of 3lbs. 8 oz. Full length matted top rib with steel front bead. Usual rib inscription. Double triggers, automatic ejectors, auto safety. Capped full pistol grip buttstock checkered in three point pattern with tear drop behind action. Buttstock with "NOSHOC" brand red pad. Unengraved silver oval near toe. Splinter forearm checkered in standard DH pattern with engraved Deeley release and engraved steel tip. Receiver is nicely engraved in typical early D grade pattern with setter on right, pointer on left surrounded by flowing scroll engraving, four pheasants on trigger plate. All visible serial numbers match. The gun remains in very good overall condition and is absolutely field ready. The barrels retain approximately 97% of a restored blue finish with some light freckling on left barrel near grip. Action has turned mostly grey with engraving still sharp and well defined. Stocks are excellent as restored, checkering has thinned slightly. Bores are mostly bright and shiny with evidence of an old repaired dent or two and a shallow pit or two can be seen. This is a rare gun and these long barreled 20 gauge guns are not offered for sale often - a perfect dove set up!
