So Chuck sent me a letter on the gun today and it's a CEP gun. Not listed in the Parker Story but pretty cool just the same.

Parker shotgun, serial number 54073, was ordered by the Jno. P. Lovell Arms Co. of Boston, MA on April 7, 1890 and shipped on April 16, 1890. According to Parker Bros. Order Book No. 26, it was a Quality T, Top Action Hammer Gun, 12-gauge. It featured Laminated barrels with a length of 30 inches. The order was placed by C.E.P.

The price was $55.00/

According to Parker Bros. Stock Book No. 19, the stock configuration was a capped pistol grip and its specifications were: Length of Pull: 14 ¼”, Drop at Heel: 2 5/8”, Weight: 7 pounds and 13 ounces. The chokes were patterned RH full and LH full.
