16 gauge guns at Jaquas

Yeah the mid bead sounds like it was added later. I don't believe (but am subject to correction) that the Lyman red ivory beads became popular until well after the gun was made... no big deal though IMO.

It goes without saying “condition is everything” as is originality/correctness . However this isn’t 1962 and the available choices are not what they were sixty years ago , atleast not at bargain basement prices . So as I see it now it’s a matter of holding out for prime specimens and have just a few or take the knocks scratches and dings in stride . I mean pristine is actually wasted on me , while I like pristine I plan on shooting it if I buys it and no I don’t tend to beat them up or abuse them . But is you use them wear is bound to happen .

Don't get me wrong. I made an offer but like most of their guns it's on consignment and they couldn't reach the decision maker. Based on our conversation, I expect to own it soon and will be shooting sporting clays with it Friday. BTW, they have several Parkers coming in from an estate that are being looked over and catalouged. I'm pretty sure I saw about 4-5 A grade guns on a table behind the counter and two 32" barrled guns, (at least one was a V grade maybe both) a 16 and 20 I think.
