Rarely will you find a Parker without the reinforced lug and your gun made in 1906 very highly doubt because the beavertail came out later if I remember correctly. Also Cyl/Cyl bores on 30" barrels, I have a feeling those have been opened up too.

The Serialization book indicates it left as a plain VH, no options. It is extremely unlikely Parker would have shipped a 30" set of barrels with no choke.

The stock book entry would show the choke constriction. If the gun is in an order book, it would show also as a special order choking.

Greatly appreciate the help!
B.Dudley, I am not sure what the draw bolt looks like for the BTFE... would you have a picture what to look for? Although the gun looks very nice, it would seem it has had a major overhaul at some point. What "% rating" or markdown in value would this gun have with an after factory BTFE and stock, opened chokes, and reblueing of the case and barrels? Again, thanks for the great feedback! |

William, this is a picture of the "draw bolt" or reinforcing rod that runs through the forend of the BTFE and threads into the end of the forend iron.

Thanks for the pic. It did not have the draw bolt. Think I will keep looking.

There are to many nice "original" unmolested Parkers out there for you to consider something like this for your first Parker. The learning curve can be steep but if you take your time, do the research and ask questions before you wright a check you can straighten that learning curve out some.
