*EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION PARKER BROS SC TRAP GUN. SN 241038. Cal. 12 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. This special Parker offering with a total of a few more than 1900 guns produced in all grades, was often customized by the owner, and most saw extensive use. This specimen is in a remarkable state of preservation. The SC was the lowest grade, single trap offered, and featuring ventilated rib with dual ivory beads, and a considerable amount of nicely cut large open shaded scroll engraving and pigeon on trigger plate, as well as fancy wood and checkering in usual “C” grade style. Stocks were available either straight or pistol grip. This gun has 32″ bbl and XXX crotch figured American walnut straight grip stock. The only thing not factory is the addition of a brown “Kick-eez” pad. Bore diameter: .729. Bore restriction: .032. Wall thickness: .065. Drop at heel: 1-7/8″, drop at comb: 1-7/16″. Weight: 8 lbs. 14 oz, LOP 14″. CONDITION: Excellent, retaining nearly all of its orig finish on wood and metal. Bbl has some slight silvering at muzzle and one or two minor marks. Action is slightly silvered on beads and sharp edges. Case hardening color on bottom of action is exceptional. Forend latch retains nearly all of its orig color, as well. Trigger guard retains 85 – 90% of its orig blue, silvered on sharp edges of bow, and thinning at grip. Stocks retain nearly all of their orig varnish finish with a number of minor marks and light scratches. Bore is excellent, bright and shiny throughout. All damascening marks on breech end are visible. Action is tight. Ejector is strong. Probably as fine a Parker single bbl trap gun as one could find. 4-46788 MGM197 (3,500-5,500)
