A Lucky Gunbroker Winner
Congratulations to Mr. "dogon" for winning gunbroker auction number 495230407.
This gun, 62862 is a fine example of the earliest of GH guns as evidenced by its serial number and also by the very early engraving style. It is a 12 gauge built on the 1-frame size with original 27" barrels. Not only is the gun in very nice original condition, but it may very well be the only Parker GH made with Laminated Steel barrels. The top rib explicitly is stamped "Damascus Steel" but the composite pattern is clearly that of Laminated Steel pattern. Further, the right barrel flat is clearly stamped "L" for Laminated Steel.
In the Grades section of The Parker Story under the Grade 2 section, there are no GH grades recorded as having been made with Laminated Steel barrels. and to me everything looks original except the shortened stock (by 3/4") according to the stock book records.
Congrats Mr. "Dogon"
