Parker PH Grade Boxlock Double Shotgun
serial #82628, 12 ga on a No 1 1/2 frame, 32” twist steel barrels choked cylinder and full with good bores showing light oxidation and light to moderate pitting, and a light ding about 9 1/2” from the left muzzle. The barrels have toned to a gray patina with overall fine oxidation staining, some spots of more significant staining, a small ding on the bottom edge of the left muzzle, and a light handling mark or two. The frame has toned to a silvery case-hardened patina with similar oxidation staining and touches of pinprick pitting, the PH grade engraving intact with “PARKER BROS” marked both left and right. The pistolgrip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in very good condition with a tiny chip and two short hairline cracks at the tip of the upper tang, moderately softened checkering (the forend checkering now only visible), and light dings and handling marks; the stock and forend are shy of the metal in spots. The stock features a hard rubber gripcap, an unengraved shield-shaped monogram plate, and the Parker dog’s head hard rubber buttplate is intact, showing general light wear, and giving an about 14 1/4” length of pull with drops of about 1 7/8” and 3”. The matted rib is clearly marked with the Parker Bros’ address, and both barrels and forend are numbered to the gun. The shotgun locks up tight and on-face with the lever coming to rest just a hair left of center and features double triggers, an automatic safety, 2 1/2” chambers, and is sighted with a tall brass bead. The Parker Gun Identification and Serialization book reflects that the shotgun left the factory as it is currently configured. An honest 1895-made Parker for the American shotgun enthusiast.
