Bbl. 30″ w/ very attractive, closely patterned damascus marked “PARKER BROS. MAKERS. MERIDIAN CONN. DAMASCUS STEEL” on flat matted slightly raised pigeon rib.

Matching splinter forend has filed steel tip & usual Deeley type release. The Parker Gun Identification Ledger relates that this gun came w/ an extra set of bbls., both forend iron & bbl. loop of this set are stamped “1”.
