*RARE 28 GAUGE PARKER DHE.

SN 238932. Cal. 28 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 00 Frame. 28″ Bbls are unmarked on top rib. All correct marks are on water table and bbl flats. All specifications match those in the Parker Gun Identification and Serialization ledger, except that stock type is unspecified (typical for these later Remington Era Parkers). Case hardened action features automatic safety and nickel-plated single selective trigger. It is engraved in typical “D” style with 70% coverage of scroll surrounding vignettes of pointing dogs on sides, and quattro of quail in hilly background on trigger plate. “PARKER” is on bottom of action. SN is on tang of scroll engraved and blued trigger guard. Nicely flame figured American walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14-3/8″ over skeleton steel buttplate. Stock is checkered in point pattern. Drop points are carved with lozenges in classic “D” style. A silver oval on toe line is engraved with monogram “DND” (?). Matching splinter ejector forend has SN on iron. This gun is in the same serial number range as several other DHE grade guns that are noted to have been engraved by Rudolph Kornbrath. It is possible that Kornbrath engraved this gun, though there is no way to definitively prove that. Bore diameter: left -.548, right -.549. Bore restrictions: left -.018 (mod), right -.033 (full). Wall thickness: left -.022, right -.022. Drop at heel: 2-1/2″, drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight: 6 lbs 0 oz. LOP: 14-3/8″. CONDITION: Excellent, as nicely refinished. Bbls retain nearly all of a lustrous re-blue. Action retains nearly all of a dark muted color re-hardening. Stocks retain nearly all of a dark varnish re-finish, over some light marks. Checkering competently re-cut. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. Trigger works. A very scarce gun, with fewer than 200 made in this gauge, 54 with Titanic bbls 28″ long. 4-50443 MGM24 (32,500-52,500) – Lot 2410
