The Widgeon Duck Club gun numbers are listed in TPS so that can be determined.

I don't remember what the price was but I know these guns do well. I've shot the gun quite a bit and friends have also shot it. Its not an all around gun and the chokes are so tight you have to be dead on for close targets or let the target get out a ways. It is fun for slower, deliberate shooting. It hits very hard on pheasant and the pattern is so dense you can place it on the headand neck. I've shot it at the pigeon ring and done as well or better than people with 12ga guns. They are amazing examples of Parker gunwork but I sure wouldn't call them a grouse gun.

Mine is on an O frame and even at close to 7 lbs, it doesn't like heavy loads. It doubles on some 1 oz loads. I 'd be surprised if the sears are worn because it hasn't been used that much. I've found that doubling in a Parker is the gun telling you the load is too heavy.
