Actually, the gun has been fired. There is some evidence on the face of the receiver. But it can't have been much considering the condition of the gun overall. If you remember the photo of the split stock, the absence of any trace of cleaning solvent or gun oil in the head of the stock, or anywhere else in the wood, supports the limited use of the gun. Altogether, it is the nicest Parker I have ever seen, disregarding for a moment the broken stock.
