The shape of the top edge of the lock plates really intrigues me.

The "Parker Bros" logo intrigues me as well.

I just acquired a very early one myself and plan to leave it in "as is" condition. It really looks good for its age and how many early ones are left in decent, unmolested condition?

The owner is requesting opinions on the advisability of a restoration on this gun and how that might affect its value. Please feel free to post opinions on this while respecting that it is a well used gun but for its age, still very nice.

Another thing I just noticed that I haven't seen on any other Parker is the fact that the barrel flats are especially wide as compared to the width of the frame to the point that the flats had to be shaped or contoured narrower on both sides at about the 1 5/8" mark or just between the 4 and the 1 of the 941 order number. What a neat little Parker. I continue to learn from this cute little gun.

Dean, Please calculate the center to center distance of the bores.

I suspect, without measuring, that distance should be the same as the 29/32" between the firing pins.

Incidentally, I'll have it at grouse camp and you can examine it to your heart's content but I promised the owner I wouldn't shoot it. He didn't even have to bring that point up as I would never have shot it anyway but he just felt more comfortable with that issue discussed right up front.

Pretty hard to get flats wide enough for 20ga. and mate it to an 00 frame.

You had better make sure there are no 20ga. shells laying about or Dave will try "checking the walls".

Who needs a .410? When you can have a 5lb 9oz 20 gauge.
