Default Parker CHE 3" Chambers 24212x serial

This is a CHE 3" chambers, 32" barrels, single trigger and english stock. I am not selling the gun, just want to find information on it. It is a late Remington gun. The engraving looks factory and does not have the dogs on it. Any information would be appreciated.

That is a factory 3" magnum gun like we have recently discussed on this forum. A really nice and rare gun.

The forend looks to be original but the buttstock is a replacement and wasn't done true to an original buttstock.

The engraving appears original and likely done to order. The standard engraving for a Grade 4 of that late period would have had dogs, as you know, and likely would have had gamebirds or an antlered animal on the floor plate.

And I don't recognize that style of engraving with the stippling in void spaces as being that of Robert P. Runge. Perhaps it was done by Charles Forrest who came on in 1937 but I don't know if he went to Ilion when Remington moved the Parker Gun operation there.

The gun is very atypical and likely was a special order from a customer requesting there to be no game or dogs on the gun. The stippling around the edges of the scroll is a very different treatment for a Parker, other than on the SC single barrels.

The buttstock on your gun is a non-factory replacement.

Very interesting and desirable gun! The buttstock may be a negative but there are many more positives

This is the fourth of these very late Remington era 12-gauge 3-inch guns to surface since I've been keeping track and three of them are CHEs.
