Is it a concern?

Hi Bill,

I have not seen a back action with "Parker Bros." on the locks or receiver. Just the barrel rib as mentioned. Here is #97 and #037

Oh, Ye of little faith!
When it comes to Parker Bros shotguns, never say never!

BUT, there's a catch!

[David Noble]

The "catch", both locks hand engraved upside down! I believe this to be factory done.
Serial # "capitol O" prefix, O 1248

This gun is pictured and mentioned in both The Parker Story and the Identification and Serialization books.

The case in the picture below I believe to be factory, but not necessarily made for this gun.
I acquired this gun and case from an auction.
It belonged to a PGCA member at the time.
