OK why is the seller stating that the gun is chocked IC /IM When the box says IC/IC I think I read that right ?

Perhaps Edgar is still standing next to Mr. Galazan and can ask him. I'd be curious to know what the serialization book says. Help anyone? |

I'm surprised no one has asked about SPECIAL. Bobby, you don't have a book? It matches the book if that helps you write the check. Haters gotta hate, but I suspect the gun won't sit very long. Tony bought a nice Parker skeet gun yesterday also, but that's not my thing |
Good evening Edgar.
Sorry to be so dense but what matches the book? The description or the factory box? Thank you. |
Bobby, the 'Book' for 237449 say P2 H 2 C 12 26, meaning Grade 2 Parker Special Steel, Hammerless, Option code 2 (ejectors) 12ga, 26" The box marking of chokes wouldn't be reflected in the info in the serialization book, and whether the box is correct at Imp Cyl, and Imp Cyl wouldn't seem as likely as the gun actually being IC and Imp Mod. The "SPECIAL" is anyone's guess, but as the chokes may have been IC and IC, which might have been a specific request, that might have been the meaning.
I'm only speculating, and was more involved in my deal than the details of the subject gun. The engraving, as Dean noted, is clearly R Runge, but it is so crisp, it gave me the thought that he may have paid more attention to it than ordinary. All of the birds seemed more lifelike. |
It’s a 1/2 frame gun and could have been special ordered with those chokes maybe

Edgar, thanks for taking the time to add to this very interesting Parker and to provide more photos. I thought from the GI site there was not enough light on the gun to show the true color of the stock and forend. The dimensions of the stock are DAC: 1-3/4" but are likely less than that as the label on the box shows "5/3", which I think would be 1.67", or closer to "1-5/8". Did you shoulder the gun? Does it seem that low to you? Also, there appears to be some rub marks on the top, rear of the stock at the heel. Just handling marks? Thanks.

If it's a half frame gun, that would add some to its value and price. Is it on our half frame "list"? Can Researcher give us some information on his comment about a Trojan skeet gun?
