T grade gun 4361
The two barrel set gun 4361 has appeared in several Parker Pages since 1999. It isn't much for condition but is very interesting in several aspects. I acquired it before the archive became available and don't have a letter on it, but it does show as a Grade T 10 ga single barrel set in the serialization.
The barrel sets are numbered 1 and 2. Barrel set 1 is the damascus set and has a multi diamond fore end. Chamber is .856 and bore is .808. Left choke.767. right .777. It has inserts brazed in the hinge and locking lug, which were shown in an early PP. It is 30 1/16 inch and weighs 4 pounds 1.4 ounces.
The barrel set numbered 2 is .790 bore and an even 30 inches. It weighs 4 pounds 0.4 ounces, and has a two diamond fore end checking pattern.
The gun appearred in another issue with a picture of the stock. It was stretched to a 14 3/4 inch pull by inletting a "widow's peak" into the extension.
The gun is currently in storage; I have some letters with Oscar, relative to the laminated appearance of the lock plates. I should check the locks for the type of rebound.
Best, Austin
