SN 238832. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chamber. 2 Frame. 30″ Bbl with ventilated rib is marked with Parker address and “ACME STEEL” on left side. All correct marks are on water table and bbl flats. All specifications match those in The Parker Gun Identification and Serialization ledger. Case hardened action has no safety. It is engraved in typical “SC” style with 80% coverage of large and small scroll. A flying pigeon is on trigger plate and “PARKER” is on bottom of action. SN is on tang of scroll engraved trigger guard. Fine crotch figured American walnut capped pistol grip buttstock measures 14-3/8″ over Hawkins pad. Stock is checkered in point pattern. Side panels are checkered. A vacant silver oval is on toe line. Matching long beavertail ejector forend has reinforcing bolt. Bore diameter: .729. Bore restriction: .031 (full). Wall thickness: -.058. Drop at heel: 1-7/8″, drop at comb: 1-1/2″. Weight: 8 lbs 5 oz. LOP: 14-3/8″. PROVENANCE: PGCA letter confirming specifications, and that this gun was shipped Oct. 10, 1936. Copy of 1936 retail price list. Photocopy of the original IBM card is also included and confirms all features as described in the PGCA letter. CONDITION: Exceptionally fine. While most trap guns saw extensive use, this particular example did not. It retains nearly all of its orig factory finishes on wood and metal, with only a few minor handling marks and light scratches. Bbl retains nearly all of its blue. Most all damascening is still present on breech end. Action shows slight silvering on top lever and beads around fence. Forend latch is mostly silver, but does have some case color present. Trigger guard is silvered at grip, and on edges of bow, with some flaking of blue. Hawkins pad is excellent. Bore is excellent. Action is tight. Bbl is on face. Ejector is strong. Fewer than 2000 single bbl trap guns were made in all configurations and grades. 30″ Bbls are fairly scarce, with a total of 169; 151 in grade SC. A fine example like this with no stock alterations, is very unusual. 4-51270 MGM28 (5,500-9,500) – Lot 2435
