Default AAHE 95275 finds a good home

Some of you may remember the thread in late 2019 where a gentleman had found AAHE 95275 and asked a bunch of questions and then he and the gun went quiet. Well I am happy to say that it has found a new home. It sold at least one time after that and then I was fortunate to have the opportunity to acquire it. Since the original posting the chrome had been removed from the barrels but that was about it. Fortunately no one had done any further damage to the gun by attempting restoration. What I am happy to report is it will be saved. The Parker story says there were only 15 28” 12 gauge AAHE guns and in total only 3 Damascus were made. I have not scanned the serialization book but this likely the only AAHE 12 gauge in 28” Damascus made.

The barrels lock up tight and the wall thickness is intact. Chokes are 0.007/0.011, weight 6lb 9oz, chambers 2 11/16”. Forearm is perfect, ejectors are in time and strong. Screws are in great shape now that they are in the correct holes. The butstock is cracked so many ways and directions around the rear tang screw it’s hard to believe the brass is holding it together.

Pictures 1-4 are before ultrasonic clean, the rest after.

Have a great night Parker friends.

Brian, does that one have wedge engraving on the barrel breeches?

The easy route will be to replace, I say this since I am a shooter and hunter and the gun will be used quite a bit through the years. That being said if it can be repaired if nothing more to accompany the gun in the future I will do that or it will stay with the gun in its present state. The stock is complete actually besides the brass plates. It fits well around the head, tang, trigger plate and trigger guard.

Have not got that far yet.

I have 2 major things to deal with, the stock and the rib matting is very worn I assume from the chrome process, I may need to replace the upper rib for looks and I would just have the dolls head wedge re-engraved.

I was wondering what ever happened with that gun. It is good to see it surface again and in good hands to do the gun justice.
