Default Lastest find. DHE Straight stock 12g

Found a real gem this weekend, original DHE 12g s# 155041 .
Only a pad added. Functions flawlessly and looks beautiful for never being touched.

nice find - straight stock DHE is rare - not much case color though for never being touched - couldn't tell by pics but was wondering if you have a silver medallion on the buttstock? - all the higher grade parkers usually did - the wood seems dark, the circassian wood normally put on A through D grade guns was slightly lighter overall with dark graining - probably just the lighting - i also own a DHE with straight stock with 95% original case color, limited use and single trigger SN 236xxx - has RLK Jr on the silver medallion would sure like to know who that was from a historical perspective if there is one - CONGRATULATIONS!! any higher grade parker is a great find any day and hard to come by

From the context, I understood never being touched as not having been restored. Anyhow, great gun for sure, straight stock/long barrel DHEs are my favorite!!
