Only thing we know is my granfather bought this gun for my grandmother somewhere in the 40's. the barrel looks kinda short?? butt of stock looks shortened. maybe to fit a women better? it does have auto ejectors.

| Dan, Parker 79269 is shown as a Damascus barreled grade 2 or G grade with capped pistol grip and 30" 12 ga. barrels. It is shown to have been an extractor gun, not ejectors but it may have had ejectors fitted at a later date by either Parker Bros. or one of a few business that would install non-Parker ejectors. 79269 was made in 1894. Value is likely to be something less than $1,000. Last edited on Mon Apr 13th, 2009 10:03 am by Dean Romig

| Dan, does your gun throw fired shells across the room when you open the gun after firing? If it does not, it does not have automatic ejectors. Automatic ejectors have a two piece extractor, the extractor gun has a one piece extractor.

| Take a look at the end of your top rib, towards the muzzles. Also examine the actual muzzle ends themselves, and see how close they are to each other. Most of the time they touch, or are very very close to touching, with not a very large solder gap. If the rib matting runs clear to the end of the barrels and if you have larger than normal solder gap at the muzzles, chances are good that your barrels have been cut. This is what a set of original uncut Parker barrels should look like (from a late Remington V) Attached Image (viewed 108 times):

| Yup, you have to look at the end of your barrels to determine whether they have been cut. "Around 28 inches" isn't good enough. The "book" says your gun went out the door with 30" barrels. "Looks kind of short" isn't a good description of length either. We're trying to help you here. Give us a little help. Lots of Parker guys in Michigan.
