Default new Parker

New one received last week.What a pleasant surprise !Pictures and information did not come close to reality and the condition this gun is in.
It is a GH,2 frame with a D stock and forend.Letter does not mention a restock but wood to metal is perfect.Modern stock dimensions with less than 2" drop at heel,a perfect fit for me.
Damascus is perfect with great color,not a ding or blemish in metal or wood.
Barrels are 32"..F&F untouched..perfect screws..Shooting this one Thursday.
I am a happy camper...Bill
Gun from 1894..shipped to Victoria, B.C.

Will get another shot of the barrels,Charlie.
The left barrel does have more pronounced (rings) .The right barrels have the same rings on the Damascus but are lighter in color but have exact same pattern.
Could laying in a case for 30 years cause this ?
