*RARE 20 GAUGE PARKER BHE W/ STRAIGHT GRIP.

*RARE 20 GAUGE PARKER BHE W/ STRAIGHT GRIP. SN 239278. Cal. 20 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 0 Frame. 26″ Acme steel bbls with standard game rib, are stamped with Parker Overload proofs. “A3” is stamped on water table. Bbls are fitted with reinforced splinter. Case hardened action with nicely filed bead around fences, is engraved with well cut medium scroll, with a pair of ducks on left side of action, quail on right, and pair of pointers with flushing quail in western mountain scene on trigger plate. “PARKER” is engraved on bottom of action, as is typical for late production guns. Parker single selective trigger is gold-plated. Trigger guard with scroll on bow, has SN at grip. Nicely marbled European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 13-3/4″ over skeleton buttplate, and features typical “B” quality checkered side panels with fleur-de-lis drop points, with matching fancy scalloped checkering pattern, with mullered borders. A gold oval is on toe line, engraved with “RS” monogram. Matching splinter ejector forend has typical steel tip and Deeley type release. Bore diameter: left-.618, right -.620. Bore restrictions: left -.018, right -.005. Wall thickness: left -.024, right -.023. Drop at heel: 2-3/8″, drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight: 6 lbs. .6 oz. LOP: 13-3/4″. CONDITION: Excellent, as refinished. Bbls retain essentially all of a high quality satin re-black. Action retains essentially all of its cyanide re-case color, silvered only very slightly on thumbpiece. Trigger guard and safety button retain nearly all of a good quality re-blue, slightly flaked. Stocks retain nearly all of well done oil finish, wood very slightly under metal, sharp edges slightly rounded, checkering re-cut. Gun matches all specifications in Parker records except stock is listed as “capped pistol grip”. This straight grip stock is undoubtedly original to this gun, with SN and grade marking under trigger guard tang, with correct SN on trigger guard, with no evidence of welding. This discrepancy may be due to incorrect interpretation of IBM punch cards used by Remington in the late 1930’s. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. Trigger works. A total of 109 of “BH” doubles were made in 20 ga with Acme steel bbls, with 28 made with 26″ bbls. 4-46041 MGM284 (20,000-30,000)
