This Parker is a GH grade side-by-side in 12 gauge with Damascus barrels. The receiver keeps roughly 80 percent of its case colors, now faded, and the stock has been expertly refinished with a recoil pad added, giving a 13 3/4-inch length of pull. It has double triggers and extractors. The barrels show a gray patina with the Damascus pattern barely visible, and the bores are excellent.

Read this part carefully: the supplier states the gun is not safe to shoot because of the Damascus barrels. It is offered as a collector's Parker or as a candidate for sleeving to a smaller gauge, not as a working gun, and it should not be taken into New Jersey's December shotgun season as it stands. For a Parker enthusiast who wants a GH action and refinished wood to build on, that is the honest picture.
