PROVENANCE: PGCA letter confirming all present specifications, and indicating that it was shipped to A & F in NY on Oct. 18, 1919. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbls retain approx 85% of what appears to be orig blue, browning and thinning slightly at normal carry point, and with scattered minor rubs and marks. Action retains a considerable amount of its orig case hardening color, mostly where protected, and is quite vivid under top lever. Otherwise surfaces are a pleasing pewter gray patina. Buttstock retains traces of what appears to be its orig finish under added varnish, which is over a number of scratches (heavy and light), hunting marks, and dings. Checkering is very good, does not appear to have been re-cut, except on right side near grip cap where it appears a dent was removed. Wood finish on forend appears untouched. Checkering is good, but slightly worn. Bores are near excellent, mostly bright and shiny, but with one or two tiny pings. Action has a hint of looseness only with forend removed, but is tight when fully assembled. Screws are in time. Ejectors are in time. Case is very fine with slight discoloration to canvas, and a few rubs in leather trim. Straps and handle are fine. Interior cloth is excellent. An exceptional light and lively high grade small bore Parker. Every grouse or quail hunters dream. 4-50845 MGM7 (40,000-60,000) – Lot 3495
