You have what appears to be a 12 gauge GHE in very respectable condition.

With what appears to be the original Silvers butt pad... and unfortunately somebody was pretty ham-fisted when he ignored the fact that his screwdriver didn't fit the screw slots...
and the stock head appears to be badly cracked. .

I think he asked for ID help, not an attack on condition

4 pounds, 5 ounces unstruck barrel weight. Walter King, WK, someone will tell you what his job was at the factory. "D" for Damascus barrel steel, also stamped on the rib. #2 frame size. Someone will finish up.

Up until the death of his father, plant superintendent Charles A. King in 1910, Walter King was Parker Bros.' barrel inspector/finisher.
D with a 3 above is 3-iron crolle Damascus with a pre-struck weight of 4 lbs., 5 oz. The 2 stamped on the lug is the frame size. 2 was the most common frame size for 12 gauge Parkers. We don't know what the C signifies, don't know what the S signifies and don't know what the 3 7 is for. .

Price & Fjestad, Parker gun serialization list (at page 406) for 142931 tells us to expect: 30” barrels.

Wasn't me that cranked it too tight ... 2 More questions if I may ... What was the factory finish for the Damascus barrels ? and Was the Receiver and Trigger Plate Color Case Hardened on these Grade 2 guns ? ... I have seen pictures both ways but have not been able to find a definitive spec to say one way or the other ... |

Tha Damascus barrels were originally finished in black & white. Frame, trigger plate (floor plate) buttplate screws, frame screws, forend iron and latch, and forend tip were all color case hardened.
