I have done some research on this configuration, and this is an extremely rare combo of features.
Probably less than 20.
BTW, I have serial number 240941. Same configuration.
I also owned the same exact configuration in a Runge/DelGreco A1 Special, which I foolishly sold.
This is a small world at times.

I thought I saw 18 somewhere... Very nice gun! I would be interested in knowing to who the gun was originally issued.

Mine is configured exactly the same with serial: 239089

I had a pretty good idea that this is a rare configuration, 1 of 18 or 20 I didn't expect!

To be honest I saw this gun online about 2 months ago and I was dragging my feet to go look at it. Finally my curiosity got the better of me and the owner said I could shoot it. As I mentioned in my 'Going to test drive ...' I shot a 22 with the right barrel,a 22 with the left. The fact I haven't shot a clay target since last summer at the bunker, not a 16yd target in years and this Parker crushed everything I broke sealed the deal.
I have filled out the PGCA request, cut the check and am at the mercy of the usps to find out who/what& when for this gun.
I'd be interested in any info that could be pertinent concerning it being a rare bird like I thought.
Thanks!

Bores are perfect, chokes are untouched

Very nice Todd, it appears your color case is in better shape than mine.

That's a fine cue stick you've got there Todd. And it's a takedown model too!

That's a Damascus barreled M 97. Not a take-down model unfortunately.

I've got a 20 dollar bill that says it will at least double at the close :rotf:

That’s a real beauty! I told you in your original thread to quit worrying about the money and buy it. Pay the man. I was correct.
