Bad wood, bad engraving, bad screws, bad sleeve job, and no telling what else. So, what's not to like? Passed thru the hands of savages, deserves burial at sea!

I wish Mr. Murphy would show us the water table so we could know the true serial number. This gun has little chance of being an original 20 gauge.

OK, so it has a single rib around the breech balls and none of the engraving matches a Parker with single rib breech balls. That means the ribs were fabricated on a lower grade gun and the gun then poorly engraved, OR a high grade gun with single rib has had all of its engraving removed and then reengraved. It would be so easy to answer these questions if Mr. Murphy would post pictures of the barrel flats and water table. Whoa, it has been sold and is off the net. Funny, there wasn't a part of that gun worth five dollars to a restorer. Was this the most thoroughly destroyed Parker we have ever seen, or am I missing something?
