serial #172965, 20 ga (2 1/2'') on 0 frame, 26'' Vulcan steel barrels choked improved cylinder and full with mostly bright very fine bores showing a bit of fine oxidation speckling and a few partially raised tiny dings scattered about nearer the muzzles. The barrels of this nice 1916-made gun retain about 98% of an older excellent quality restored rust blue showing just a few scattered light handling marks and retaining strong factory markings. The action retains about 60% original vibrant case-hardened colors with moderate high edge and handling wear toning to a pleasant silvery gray patina along with some small areas of old oxidation staining. The triggerguard is a pewter gunmetal patina while the protected inside surface of the guard retains strong bright blue and all markings remain crisp showing the familiar light zigzag borders and a few light foliate flourishes. The checkered capped pistolgrip walnut buttstock and forend remain in near excellent condition as professionally cleaned and refinished, with crisp refreshed checkering, and showing some scattered light handling marks. There is one small repaired chip at the toe that shows some missing flakes on either side, but it is relatively unobtrusive and could be neatened up and made to disappear by a good wood man. The German silver shield-shaped monogram plate along the toe line is un-engraved and the original hard rubber pistolgrip cap and widows peak buttplate are intact, the plate with a corresponding small repair at the toe. Length-of-pull is 14 1/4'' with drops of 1 1/2'' and 2 3/4''. Weight is 6 lbs., the gun is sighted with a single silver bead and the gun features double triggers and automatic safety. The barrels lock-up solid showing a faint sliver of light at the breeches that is negligible and the with top lever rests about center. The action seems to function well mechanically with robust in-time ejectors and configuration matches that in the Parker serialization book. A nice example of a desirable 20 gauge ejectorgun.
