It probably soaks up the recoil pretty well. I love the checkering on the PG.
According to the Serialization book, it's just as it left the factory. 34" barrels are scarce and the men big enough to carry that gun out to the blind like them alot. |

yep thats a really nice old duck gun and them 34 inch barrels are what dreams are made for...your gun is a much desired gun..and would be worth more by far than the average old ten gauge... charlie

If I read the Parker Story charts correctly - there were only 48 guns made in this grade and barrel length combination.

The gun demands that you get together with some of our water fowlers and stoot the great old Parker for the sake of all that we once were and should never forget as well as what we are now. Happy Thanksgiving!! David

What a gun! The gun has some great things going for it. 34" barrels on a 4 frame. Both are very desireable features in the area of collecting since they are more rare.
A few observations of the gun that I see from the few photos you shared... The hammers on the gun appear to be incorrect replacements. And also the buttstock looks to be a non-Parker replacement. The form of grip and comb are not normal and so is the checkering. I cannot tell more from what I see.

Mr. Dudley,
Thanks for taking a look at my gun. The gun has been in my family for the last 20 years and I know for a fact that we have not altered it. What happened in the previous 125 years I'll leave up to you and the others to weigh in on. The butt stop does have what looks to be the original Parker Brothers plate on it. Take a look at the photos and let me know what you think. If you would like any other specific angles, etc., just let me know. Again, thanks for all your help. Hopefully Mr. Losey reads this reply as well, the gun weighs 12.5 lbs. and has bores that are bright, clean and I can not see any pitting. Mark |
