That is really an interesting auction, book shows it as a 12 guage, grouped with a large batch, so I assume book is correct. So 20 guage barrels added to a 1 frame? Lots of questions on that one. Dave

And it's been bid up to $1,825 with 5 days to go. Wonder who did the sleeving? The seam is very obvious. Ejectors?

Note the doll's head extension is not mated to rib properly and the latch inletting on the non-original beavertail fore end is poor. With the white line pad, this is a very unattractive gun IMHO. Jim

Gentlemen,
As Ed stated, the barrels have been sleeved! I edited the photo below to clearly show the line where the 20 gauge barrels meet what remains of the original 12 gauge barrels! Also, the seller informed me that it is a #1 frame. Mark

It's a $200 gun. I feel sorry for the high bidder. He had better take his marbles and go home. The gun is a mess. It is not a 20 gauge, and I can see no sign of ejector pins in the front of the receiver. The butt is the least of your problems.

Yes, this gun is quite the assemblence of parts and styles. A relatively crude BTFE with incorrect checkering. CH style checkering on the wrist. Modern pad. Crudely Sleeved steel barrels on a gun that would have originally been fitted with composite barrels. But the auction lists it as Parker special steel. I wonder if the rib is marked as such.
About the only good thing about this gun is the level of colors still remaining on the frame by the looks of it. Not a bad shooter for real cheap. But someone is overpaying on this one by a lot!
