Case hardened action features non-automatic safety and Parker single selective trigger.

Action is not maker marked, except on water table. Flame figured American walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-1/8″ over brown leather covered pad and features lozenge-shaped drop points, point pattern checkering with mullered borders, and a vacant silver oval on toe line. Matching beavertail ejector forend has typical release and reinforcing bolt. Bore diameter: left-.617, right -.615. Bore restrictions: left -.025 (Full), right -.013 (Mod).

PARKER GUN IDENTIFICATION AND SERIALIZATION ledger confirms this unusual configuration. Dark brown leather leg o’ mutton case has brass medallion on side engraved “Dudley H. Waters Grand Rapids Mich.” CONDITION: Excellent, retaining approx 90% orig blue, considerably thinned along rib, and silvered at muzzles. Action retains most of its orig case hardening color, which was never very bright, so actual percentage is difficult to assess. Trigger guard retains a considerable amount of its orig blue, much loss due to flaking, heavily silvered at grip. Stocks retain most of their orig finish with high areas rubbed through, and with a number of light marks and scratches. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors are strong and in time. Trigger works. Case is very fine, with straps restored. THE PARKER STORY relates that 546 “D” twenty bores were made with 28″ bbls, but also states that approx 3% were made with ventilated rib, and another 3% with single triggers. The addition of a beavertail forend and straight grip make this a very scarce gun. 4-50340 MGM231 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 3501
