*PARKER AAHE STRAIGHT GRIP SINGLE TRIGGER TRAP OR PIGEON GUN.

*PARKER AAHE STRAIGHT GRIP SINGLE TRIGGER TRAP OR PIGEON GUN. SN 149977. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 32″ Whitworth steel bbls are marked with Parker address and steel information on standard top rib. Bottoms of bbls are marked with “4# 6 oz” rough weight, “W” and “7”. Rear lump is stamped with “2”. Hammerless action is nicely filed with 2, transitioning to 3, beads around fences. Water table is marked with grade, SN, and “7”. Action features non-automatic safety and Miller selective single trigger, with selector on top tang. Action is engraved with full coverage very nicely cut, semi-relief, open flowing shaded scroll with floral highlights. “Parker Bros” is engraved in their classic presentation across bottom of action. Trigger guard has matching engraving, with SN at grip. Beautifully flame-figured and elegantly marbled flesh-toned European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-3/8″ over skeleton butt. Buttstock and forend appear to be very well done replacements, correctly copying fleur de lis drop points and fancy border checkering pattern. Matching splinter ejector forend has typical Parker release. Bore diameter: left -731, right -.732. Bore restrictions: left -.032, right -.035. Wall thickness: left -.032, right -.030. Drop at heel: 2-1/4″, drop at comb: 1-1/4″. Weight: 7 lbs. 13 oz. LOP 14-3/8″. (Factory records show orig specifications essentially the same except for skeleton butt. Gun was originally provided with a “Silvers rubber butt”.) PROVENANCE: Factory letter. CONDITION: Excellent, as partially refurbished. Bbls retain nearly all of a very fine satin re-black with a few light marks. Action retains a considerable amount of orig case hardening color in protected areas, and is mostly a very pleasing silver gray, giving definition to exceptional engraving. New stocks retain nearly all their orig rubbed oil finish with one or 2 minor compressions on forend near tip. Engraving of blued trigger guard is slightly softened. Forend tip and latch thumbpiece appear to be well done replacements. THE PARKER STORY indicates 35 guns were made in this gauge and barreling, and 40% of AA guns had straight grip stocks. 4-38890 MGM88 (15,000-25,000)
