This year's Raffle Gun, Ser. No 229442 is a 12-Gauge GHE with original 26-inch Parker Special Steel barrels There are a few surface nicks on the barrels but there are no dents at all.
Unfortunately, there is no information in the PGCA archived data upon which to base a Research Letter.
The gun has strong, well timed ejectors and a Non-Automatic safety.
Right choke is about cylinder and Left choke tapers about 5" to about Skeet.
Buttstock is a very attractive American Black Walnut with plenty of figure appropriate to grade-2 Parkers of the era.
The forend wood is a replacement with grade-3 style checkering.
Screws are about perfect and remaining case color is about 20% - 25% fading to "patina".
All in all it is a very attractive and shootable GHE.
