Hooked, my 2nd Parker

[Don]

Since buying my first Parker, a VH , and reading Ed Muderlak's books I started searching for an upgrade. Found a DH in a shop 40 miles from home.

Stock has been replaced but with nice wood. No serial under trigger guard. No shield and has dog head with spur butt plate instead of skeleton, but I still love it.

Serial #80135, 1894. It's a 12 gauge on a 3 frame, 30" Damascus barrels. I get about skeet and modified from choked measurements with caliper. I'm not skilled to say if backbored or choke tampered with. Will apply for a letter soon.

It does appear to need barrels prefaced. Any guesstimates on cost of that and a gunsmith in the east central Missouri region that can do that. Thanks for looking.
