*EXCEPTIONALLY RARE PARKER BROS .410 PHE.

*EXCEPTIONALLY RARE PARKER BROS .410 PHE. SN 222004. Cal. .410. 3″ Chambers. THE PARKER STORY indicates that only five .410 “PH” guns were ever made. There are, however, some missing ledgers with an unknown number of these guns yet to be discovered. This is one of those guns not listed in Parker Gun Identification and Serialization ledger (which is missing SNs between 219857 and 222898), but is absolutely an original PH 410. 26″ Bbls are rolled with correct name, address, and Parker steel designation on top of narrow, matted, concave rib. The final arrow in roll stamp has 6 fletches, unique to this stamp. Also the distance between the period after “A” in U. S. A. and the beginning of “S” in Steel, is unique to this stamp as well. In any upgrade from “V” grade, this space would be 1/8″ longer. Bbl flats are stamped with “P” in a circle, rough bbl weight of 2 lbs 8 oz, and “3 IN.” Rear lump is stamped “410” and with “0” (the ghost of another “0” is visible). Small case hardened action with lightening cuts in water table is stamped with patent information and “PH” on right, and SN and “P” on left. Action is engraved in typical “P” fashion with sprigs of scroll around screws, fences, and rear. “Parker Bros” is on each side. SN is at grip of trigger guard. Nicely figured American walnut semi pistol grip buttstock measures 14-3/8″ over Parker dogs head buttplate, and features standard point pattern checkering and German silver shield on bottom. Matching splinter forend is fitted with automatic ejectors. Bore diameter at muzzles: left -.400, right -.393. Wall thickness: left -.028, right -.032. Drop at heel: 2-7/8″, drop at comb: 1-5/8″. Weight: 5 lbs. 8 oz, LOP 14-3/8″. PROVENANCE: Letter from Charles Price evaluating this gun, and another from Larry Del Grego & Son confirming its authenticity. CONDITION: Very fine, as completely refinished. Bbls retain nearly all of a satin rust blue, sharp edges of rib softened. Action retains most of an old case hardening re-color. Stocks retain 95% of an older varnish finish, checkering re-cut. Bores are good, shiny, with scattered pitting throughout. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. 4-46656 MGM170 (60,000-80,000)
