Really pretty stock in great condition. Left side is plainer. Stock dimensions are pretty severe at 2" X 3 1/4" X 14 1/4". Buttplate is perfect with some color remaining on unturned screws.

The unstruck weight stamp is correct and now weighs 2 pounds eight ounces. I have two other one frame 12's and the lightest unstruck weight of those is 3 pounds 6 ounces and weighs 6/8.

Original nitre finish on trigger guard. Amazingly, even the forend tip has almost all of its color.

Great catch Joe. I almost made a run for this one myself. Glad you got it !!

This is a lite one for sure.

you have found the ultimate 12 ga lite as a 20 ga...charlie

Those wall thickness measurments look pretty scary in spots. If these are going to be shot at all, It would be VERY important to use loads in this that would be equal to period loads.

What were the advertised wall thicknesses?

Brian, I totally agree. And I've got a lot of other guns to shoot. However, it is quite the relic, having what I believe a pretty close to the dimensions it left the factory with. Regardless, I plan to fit those 30" GH barrels to it. They're way too good and ever so close to a fit. Be a shame not to use them.

Dean, the seller wouldn't have had any way of knowing. Or, if he did he sure didn't say.

There is a hidden blessing in this fiasco: I have bore and wall thickness gauges, another buyer probably wouldn't have. Ouch!

Bet'cha this will be the lightest 12 gauge 28" Parker ever reported......

Joe, did you request a letter on this gun?

Ok, I'll ask Brian... What wall thickness measurements? How can 'they' be "scary" if the measurements don't exist?
