Gary, for your comparision this CHE may be of interest. Its a few years later than yours and is as built originally except that it went back to Parker to have the safety added. Also, I replaced the hardened and brittle recoil pad with a new leather faced Silver's. This configuration was popular at the time for targets. Sometimes they are called "live bird guns" but they were used on targets of all forms; birds, clay disks, glass balls, bituminous formed balls, etc. This one has a 2" DAH, 1 1/2" DAC. Some people complain about Parkers "all" having excessive drop. Some do , some don't.

Original charcoal case colors. Original splinter forend. It was patterned when made with nitro ( smokeless) powder at 1 1/8oz at 3 drams equivalent, which runs out to about 1200 fps, which is the same load I use today from Federal, Remington, etc. Chokes are .035 and .040, so you can pick off one side or the other of a clay target with the tight barrel. I expect yours would have much the same characteristics unless altered.

Enjoy and treasure your new Parker.
