SN is on tang of border engraved and blued trigger guard. Lightly figured American walnut round knob semi-pistol grip buttstock measures 14-1/2″ over dogs-head buttplate.

CONDITION: Truly exceptional, retaining nearly all of its factory finishes on wood and metal, with only a few of the faintest marks on bbls. Damascening on breech ends is excellent. There are some dull spots in case hardening on action along with some slight edge wear. Forend latch is mostly silver from normal carry wear. Trigger guard retains most of its blue, but is brown at grip, and considerably flaked on bow. Stocks are exceptional with only a few minor marks overall, except for two fairly deep scratches on toe line, checkering sharp. Bores are excellent. Mechanically crisp. It’s hard to imagine ever finding a better specimen of this scarce small bore Parker. 4-50446 MGM42 (35,000-45,000) – Lot 2411
