Eric, I actually kind of like it, surprise, surprise, but I do.

But I'll go with a 99.06% chance that's its not Parker done. $20?

The shotgun is a 12 ga with 2 3/4 " chambers. Is this a normal offering? I will measure the barrels and take a pic of the end of the barrels. Checked both barrels and they chimed beautifully. Does this mean the ribs are in good condition? What would a research letter tell me about this gun? Finally, one member recommended enlisting help of other PGCA members in the evaluation. Is there a listing by region? Thank you for all help here! Its very much appreciated.

No one has mentioned it, but the first thing I think of when the top rib says "Damascus" and the barrels are blued is Sleeved Barrels. Granted, I don't see any tell-tale lines just forward of the chambers in the pics, but you want to look very closely to see if it might have been sleeved. They might even be marked "sleeved" on the flats or bottom of the tubes.

Hi Mike,

As a new to this forum member with only 2 posts it would be appropriate for you to provide your general location and request help in evaluating your potential purchase from any local members.

PGCA members are provided a contact list of the membership. When one joins they provide their address. Although it is not much, one's address and their membership fee provides other members a notion that they are not a scammer.

Respectfully,
Mark
