Pete: The stock is 14 1/2", 1 1/2"DAC, 2 3/4"DAH, the wear on the guns indicates a waterfowler to me. The blue is gone on the barrel where your left hand sits and the blue is 25% gone from the sides on the barrels--the top and bottom of the barrels have most of the original blue. The skeleton butt shows rust like it sat in the wet of a duck blind. The trigger guard has strong original blue where it normally wears to bright if the gun was carried in the uplands. These wear patterns indicate a gun that spent time in a duck blind. Wish these old gals could talk this gun has plenty of work experience. I shot her today and was extremely pleased, I really like the feel of a #2 frame 30" 12ga Parker. I used the 3/4oz shells many here suggest and they work great. Can't wait to drop a few mallards with her. She is no beauty queen here are a few more pictures
