This is a very early hammerless Grade 3 and some unusual features have been noted from this period. Best thing to do which might explain the "2 dogs on each side" engraving motif would be ordering a Research Letter. Hopefully there might be clues there.
I count only 43 earlier D3 Hammerless guns in the ID & Serialization book. There are probably a few more but only a few, I'm sure. It is fun to find the very earliest of some Parkers because they clearly show the evolution of the grades. |

seller said gun was made in 1889 i didnot look it up..glad to hear its a early gun..seller said that there was only 45 like it but i never paid no mind to it...owner said he shot it with black powder loads...not a good turkey gun but should be ok for doves or shooting ducks over decoys...the old gun is a 2 frame gun so should not be to heavy... charlie

Charlie, glad you got this gun, I was bidding but it got to the point that I realized I didn't need another project that bad. Nice engraving, but only I dog on each side, #2 frame so it should be easy to find a set of barrels for it. Here are some of the photos from G/B.

Hi Charlie ,I knew your Gun Broker handle and was glad a member got her ! Very unique engraving style for a D Grade ,You did alright I feel sure ! I had the gun on my watch list also ,but realized early on the barrels had been cut ,even so still a very nice gun ,if you don't mind a little extra weight should be a great early season ,open choked bird gun ! Congrats. on your new gun !
