I want to thank everyone for their feedback. I knew nothing of Parker Brothers until I picked this gun up to my shoulder and the fit just felt right. I tossed and turned a couple of nights before I went back and signed the papers. I paid $1800 for a used shotgun that I didn't know anything about except for what I was told in the description on the tag. I wondered what if it didn't shoot well for me etc. I was extremely pleased it shot very well! Also, I am extremely pleased to hear from you all that this is a keeper. I will take care of her, but she will be used as was intended. Thanks again, Allen

Tom, I'll try and take some stock pictures and post as soon as I get a chance. Thanks, Allen

Tom, not the best pictures, but these might help:

It's impossible to tell for sure without the gun in hand, but I suspect that the stock finish is original. The checkering hasn't been touched and I believe it likely that the stock hasn't been either.

I have an almost identical gun with a 176,XXX serial number and the finish and checkering looks identical to yours. One good thing about Parkers is the fit and finish is the same on any grade and once you shoot and carry them, nothing else seems to fit or feel the same. Just great consistent quality regardless of age of the gun. You have a nice one, welcome to the club!

Couldn't agree more

Thanks Alfred. Are there pictures of your gun posted?
