More pictures and information. I did confuse the extractor for ejectors. It does not have the ejectors. Thanks to some of you for clarifying.

Frame Size=2
Weight = 46
Triggers are configured for LEFT hand shooter. Can the triggers be reconfigured? If not, does a Lefty add anything to the value?

It has Dogs engraved on both sides. Appears to be a different breed of dog on each side.
On the underside appears to be pheasants.

Nice DH, especially with that straight stock. The triggers look correct for a right hand shooter (right barrel trigger in the front position)...if I am seeing your photo correctly. I'd get those nice Damascus barrels looked at by an expert and if in good shape (sure looks like it from the outside), take that nice gun out for a shoot with appropriate shells.

Thanks for the compliments. My friend who is an avid old gun collector thought the Damascus looked pretty good. No visual indicators that rust was seeping into a fold. But he also recommended having a more detailed inspection before shooting it.

In regards to the trigger, I'm not challenging you by any means. I grew up hunting with a a single barrel shotgun. I'm not experienced with this type of double trigger but when I work the triggers, the transition from the first shot to the second shot seems more fluid and comfortable when shooting left handed. When shooting right handed, it seems like the trigger finger has to contort a bit to snap in behind the first trigger, whereas shooting lefty, the finger just slides from the first shot to the next. Anyways, that's was just my thoughts from playing with it.

Very nice -- welcome aboard -- and I bet you can't buy just one!

[Dean Romig]

I completely agree with Mobird.

Thanks -- figured that but have never seen a Parker forend (or any other SxS) with ejectors. I guess I'd have to see one to understand how that works. All my SxS shotguns have extractors

Imo extractor is better. Thanks for the pics. Enjoy.

I agree -- who needs them? and for what purpose?

If I was just starting on Parkers you could not have picked a better all around gun(depends on chokes but judging from condtion of your gun they could be full and full or modified. What an exceptional stick of wood you got!!!!!!! You will enjoy if you like fine old things that really work!!!!

This is a Parker ejector forend. Notice the left and right ejector hammers and the wider forend iron necessary to house the internal ejector workings.
