Engraved Parker D Grade, 10 gauge side by side shotgun. Late 1800s hammer gun. 30 1/4 inch laminated steel barrels chambered 2 3/4 and both are open chokes. The barrels have a very nicely aged patina with clear markings and faint engraving on edges with a single brass bead front sight with low profile and the bores are in good condition for their age. Beautifully engraved receiver is in very good condition, left side with a pheasant and right side with a duck and Parker on both sides. Adorned with intricate detailing around all edges, on the hammer, tang, trigger guard and surrounding the receiver. Barrel release is located on the tang with the barrel release and hammers all being strawed. Double triggers are in very good condition. Hardwood forearm is checkered with darkening from age and handling. Excellent hardwood buttstock has a nicely checkered pistol grip with a smooth buttstock that has minor mars and a very nice grain. The black polymer buttplate is checkered and has multiple chips and mars, attributing to its age. The lower right side of the receiver and behind the tang appear to have a slight crack but does appear to be stable. Very nice antique Parker side by side D grade that is hand engraved and is in good condition for its age. Great for Parker collectors! Serial number: 22 FFL status: Antique
