How 'bout those barrels! The pattern is vivid from the breech clear to the muzzles. Unstruck weight is 5 and 13. Here are two more photos....

Why do I think I've seen this gun before? Mark I would get a letter on this gun. It could prove interesting.

Mark, Mark Conrad looked the gun up for me some time ago and found no reference that Parker Brothers had anything to do with the crossover stock. Let us know what you find out. I would be interested to know where Bill Zachow got his information.

This bent stock is very similar to L.L. Bean's gun which is prominently displayed in their flagship store in Maine. L.L lost the sight in his right eye and had his Parker shotgun stock bent to allow him to continue to use the gun. It is displayed in a glass case next to the large fireplace in their hunting/fishing store in Freeport.

Right Mike, but the LL Bean DHE on display in Freeport isn't nearly as radically bent as the one Mark has. I can't imagine anyone but Parker Bros. producing a gun bent so perfectly and uniformly in the upper and lower tangs as well as the trigger guard and quite possibly the rear end of the trigger plate. |

Bill's post above mentions a previous investigation into the status of my gun. I will request a letter in the hopes that some new Parker documents may have surfaced since then. Tomorrow I will finish disassembly and post photos. This has become an interesting thread! Thank you all for the positive feedback
