Parker Grade 0 Top Lever 12 ga
Hammer gun, SN46491 with 28" Twist barrels bored modified both.
Number 1 frame - weight 6 lbs 14 oz. Good coundition with traces of original
case colors. Good solid wood with most original varnish and some minor
scratches and a small gouge on right side - dog's head butt plate. Good
barrel pattern. Locks up tight and has slightly rough bores but no
dents. I have been shooting 1 oz 8000 psi loads in it. PGCA research extracted
from Parker factory records provide proof that its current configuration
is factory original. "The gun in the stock book was completed 11/1885 and
was a gtade 0 twelve bore with 30" barrels. The order calls for a 28" gun
with cyl chokes. It was shipped 3 days after the order came on March 18,
1886, so I suspect they cut the barrels back to 28". The order book also
calls for a 13 1/4" lop. So they cut the stock back as well".
