Way way way too far gone for me... or my wallet.

That must have been quite the gun in its youth.
Looking at the floor plate I would say the engraving, for the most part, is original.

Noooo... I just looked more closely - that engraving can’t have been approved by Charles A. King - it would never have passed his muster.

I have a big bonfire going in the back yard right now. I would throw that wood right on top of it. I am sure whoever did the barrels would not want there name published. Still a B grade 20 ga with 30 " barrels--what does the book say about it? Curious to know.

Prototype hammerless? 10 years or so before hammerless Parkers came to market. It's one of a kind

Chuck, I was just thinking the same thing--by the serial # would have been a hammer gun.
