Likely not the original doll's head rib extension.

Parker never would have let that gun out of the shop with a fit like that. JMHO

Could the barrels be replacements?

If you look at all the pictures on Guns International of this Gun you may agree with my observations. It looks to me as if the top rib is actually fabricated from 3 separated pieces. The relief of the barrels in front of the barrel flats while it matches late 410 Parkers it doesn't match the 2 28 gage guns I've looked at in the last 4 months, one older and one newer manufacturing dates. They don't show us the barrel flats so they could be Parker or Jap. In conclusion the asking price is P.O.R. but they share no description AT ALL. I have an opinion on the gun now the ball is in your court.

I once had a messed up set of d grade barells that had
A perfect rib, sold them for 300 dollars and told the man
Some one had tried to makE 1 1/2 frame out of 2 frame
All I think the man wanted was the rib with TITANIC on
It. Figured he was going to use v grade and make himself
A D grade with the new rib

It's happened before... I'm sure there are other examples.

Thanks for the conversation, not in that market but I saw that gun pictured in their add as the cover photo recently. Beautiful at a glance, but scary when experienced eyes take a look. Thanks to all.

In case anybody is wondering, the price is $75,000.

Well now that I know the asking price I'm torn between submitting a purchase offer or making a generous contribution to the Clinton Foundation.

The description of this gun on the pugsgun web site shows the first four numbers of the serial number as 1848. The serialization book(page 479) shows five guns with serial numbers beginning with 1848, four 12 gauge, one 20 gauge a T13 grade. The Parker Story (page 1005) list of 28 gauge guns, shows no guns with serial numbers beginning with 1848. Maybe I missed something?????
