New member to the Parker Kennel!
Recently purchased Parker 74042, which was not in the serialization book, and the seller was unwilling to hold the gun until I obtained a letter.
Got the gun in hand Saturday, GH, D4 Damascus, 0 frame,16 bore, with 28” barrels, Lyman front sight, and what appears to be a period correct SSBP, installed on a G grade stock, choked CYL and MOD. I ordered the letter online Saturday, and got it TODAY!!!
The gun perfectly matches the letter, and apparently was owned and shot by US. Congressman E. Hart Fenn of CT. Member Fenn sent the gun back to Parker in 1900, to have a new G grade stock added with a SSBT.
The gun matches perfectly, with nothing but modest wear.
I am extremely happy to be this guns current caretaker.
