This gun has been used but is in no way 80% condition IMO. No case colors left, stock chipped, and minor pitting in the bores. It's a nice honest 16ga Parker and deserves to be shot with low pressure loads.

Thanks for the constructive comments Chuck. Would you tell me what you mean by "case colors"? It is becoming clear that I need to have this looked at by several qualified individuals as determining condition can be somewhat subjective and also important with regards to safety if shooting the gun is being considered. Will investigate my options here in Houston.
