Parker VH Grade Boxlock Double Shotgun
serial #101066, 12 ga on a No. 2 frame, 30'' Vulcan steel barrels choked full in both with bright very good bores showing scattered spots of light pitting and a very light bulge about 4'' from the right muzzle. The barrels retain about 98-99% excellent quality restored blue with some scattered spots of freckling, and hints of previous pinprick pitting beneath the finish. The frame has toned to a silvery case-hardened patina with fine cleaning striations here and there, the zigzag bordering remaining crisp, hints of pinprick pits, and some light gray freckling; the long tang triggerguard has worn to gray with light oxidation staining and remnants of blue along the interior of the bow. The checkered straight grip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in very good to perhaps very good plus condition with a few tight cracks at the rear of the upper tang, another short crack perpendicular to the right side of the triggerguard tang, all of which are easily missed upon first glance, the stock otherwise appearing quite lovely with robust chased checkering, an unengraved shield-shaped monogram plate on the toeline, and a leather-backed solid recoil pad giving an about 14'' length of pull with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 1/4". The shotgun locks up with light lateral movement noticeable, the right barrel just a touch off-face with a bare sliver of light visible, the lever coming to rest a touch left of center, and featuring double triggers, an automatic safety, 2 1/2'' chambers, extractors, and is sighted with a lone steel bead. A nicely restored 1901-made VH Grade. (14A11621-25) {C&R} (700/900)
