The barrels did show some very nice star damascus pattern their full length with very sparsely scattered surface oxidation. The top rib is present, the muzzle portion a bit wavy but could easily be salvaged and relaid by a professional in the field, the same holds true for the bottom rib. The frame is a smoky case-hardened pewter patina with some vestiges of colors hiding beneath the fences left and right, more around the front of the triggerguard. The engraving remains crisp and very prominent throughout. The checkered capped pistolgrip American walnut buttstock rates very fine plus with much original varnish, crisp checkering, intact pistolgrip cap and silver monogram plate along the toeline with only very light handling marks here and there. The length of pull to the dog’s head buttplate is 14 1/16” with drops of 1 1/2” and 2 3/4” . The forend and iron are numbered to a different gun but are definitely Parker, perhaps the original forend lost when the accident occurred. This forend is mostly smooth and rates perhaps good plus. The forend locks loosely in place with a gap at the frame but could likely be tightened up when the lug is relaid along with the ribs. The barrels are currently tight on face and the gun does seem to function as-designed with automatic safety. A worthwhile project Parker for the dedicated enthusiast or competent tradesman.

FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale (excluding Class III) when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. If an FFL dealer is sending an “agent” to pick up items, that person must be a bona fide, paid employee of the company with a W4 on file. Outside contractors cannot be used as pickup agents. A SIGNED LETTER FROM THE FFL STATING THIS FACT MUST BE PRESENTED AT TIME OF PICK UP. The FFL Dealer will in turn be notified that a transfer was made to you as their agent. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm, on day of sale, provided the proper paperwork is completed and the transfer has been approved either through the N.H. State Police or the FBI NICS System, whichever is appropriate based upon the type of firearm(s) purchased. Non-resident individuals from states without waiting periods may take possession of long guns on day of sale after completing the proper forms and successfully completing a NICS check. If you reside in a state with a waiting period, your items will need to be shipped to a dealer in your state. No modern handguns will be delivered to non-resident individuals. All modern handguns purchased by non-resident individuals will need to be delivered to or shipped to an FFL holder in the buyer’s home state. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale. Bidders should be familiar with their local and state laws as Amoskeag Auction Co., Inc. will not be responsible for any parties purchasing items which may not be possessed in, or shipped to their state of residence. Some states have restrictions on transfers to C&R License holders, study your state and local laws before bidding. If you are the winning bidder of an item that you find does not comply with your state’s laws, you will still be required to pay your invoice, Amoskeag Auction Co. will then re-offer the arm on your behalf.
