Bottom of receiver lightly scroll engraved with woodcock and trigger guard with pointer. WEIGHT: 10 lbs. 10 oz. CONDITION: Excellent, bbls retains 60% orig Damascus pattern, with scattered light freckling and staining. Receiver retains 30-40% orig case color mostly on sides and slightly toned on bottom. Trigger guard and push button retain about half of their orig blued finish. Buttstock and forend retain most of an older professionally restored finish with light handling marks and couple of dings in the checkering. According to the "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" book, this gun started life as a 32" laminated bbl gun and was likely sent back to Parker for the longer, matching number, Damascus bbls as it is most certainly factory work. Mechanics are excellent, bores are bright and shiny. 49417-47 JSL221 (3,000-5,000)
