Parker DH 81588

[Double Play]

Tad,
That's a very interesting gun. When you get a chance look under the trigger guard to see if there is a large R stamped into the wood. It has been discussed here before about the R possibly indicating "replacement" on guns that were restocked at the factory. The DH below letters as a capped pistol grip gun but now has a GH straight grip stock with the R stamped in the wood. The gun was originally made with 30" barrels but now also has a set of 26" barrels and forend that were likely added at the same time the gun was restocked. This additional work did not show up in the letter but there is no doubt in my mind the work was preformed at Parker Brothers.
