Alright already!!!!! Here ya go... be gentle. This is my first baby... Barrels are 28" and she's a bit small for me, but who cares! Its a parker! Is there anything I can use to clean up the metal, or should I just leave the 114 year old patina? The guy I bought it from gave me a box of black powder shells as well... Cant wait to blast a few off! Enjoy!

That looks like a keeper Joe, I like the Lyman front bead...a Parker option, gun is in very nice condition, did notice the butt stock is not typical for a grade 3 it was found on grade 2 and below.
