Original condition, you never know where they will turn up. This was at my wife's cousins house as we helped her with her parents estate.
The last known Parker with Damascus barrels, circa 1928. A DH 12 with 30 in barrels, and perhaps unfired. I showed it to a few at the Rock Mtn shoot.

That's a beauty Harold. I remember you writing about that gun recently.

Harold I recall that gun, it's a dandy!! Just a great specimen. The pictures will never do that gun justice.

Randy, I am shocked that even with the original box, hang tag, etc that you would own a 16g gun with ONLY minuscule 28” barrels!!

Unfired with cosmoline still dripping from it after all these years is this Parker Reproduction Sporting Clays Classic. One in an edition of just 125 and one of only two that I've come across in over four decades of seeking them out configured with a straight grip, splinter forend and double triggers -- just the way I like 'em!

Note: For those of you that remember the late Tom Gibbons, he might have described it as "Never had a screw turned!" and "Best ever found!"
