The frame is marked 'N' and has all the patent dates, commensurate with its manufacture date of 1906. The barrels show an unbelievable amount of twist pattern and the bores are free of dents, bulges or pits. the action is goobered up with a hundred years of old oil and dirt. The receiver tangs and stock have been bent to accomodate a right handed shooter that has lost vision in the right eye. It would neat to know if the gun was returned to Parker (or originally ordered) for the modification. With the 3-1/2" DAH, the gun comes up and I am looking straight down the rib without moving my head. It will take some getting used to, but should not be an issue for the occasional 'nostalgia hunt'. It got me into a late model hammerless 10 for a song
. I will post some photos soon. Cheers!
