How can I evaluate my Parker shotgun

[George Spyridakis]

Jim, thank you also for your answer!
Actually, I read it 3 times to understand... (not the way you write of course, but my lack of knowledge of technical terms in this subject).
There is one more question though... what do we mean by "Trojan grade gun"???

thanks again!

edit: You 're absolutelly right about the lack of release lever for the forend and generally your description fits perfactly to my Parker. There isn 't much sculpting on the gun. Only the classic mat sculpting on the butt, forehand and on the top of the barrels.
