I agree Brian, it looks as if the "Parker Bros." was gouged out or something on both sides... maybe a "back door" gun??

barrels cut @2" also, but a nice little grouse or close cover gun. Good luck with it. And I agree with Brian and Dean.

Would a "back door" gun be in the book?

That's hard to say. First we would have to find an authenticated "back door" Parker and then check for factory records on it.

As I recall, Ivory Beads had a Parker a couple of years ago where the engraving was incomplete, suggesting a similar scenario... I wonder if Jim Thynne can comment on that one.

Dean ,I can't remember the Grade of the gun but I remember the gun also ,and I believe Jim advertised it as such ! Wish he were still in business ,I always enjoyed discussing guns with him and dealing with him !
