The Parker deal is dead for now. I'll let everyone know if it resurfaces again.

Jim,
The Parker btfe that you pictured as an example is one of the other styles that Parker made. The one on the gun in question is another style. In fact, there are parker catalogs that picture the exact style of forend that is on the gun you were looking at.
You will also find, if you look at enough live bird guns, that the filled safety slot is very common on guns ordered without safeties. Not many built without safeties actually started life as not having the slot cut in them.
And, the extreme rarity of it having a vent rib alone makes it worth the price of admission.
Take some time and study up on Parkers if you are looking to learn on them and buy one. A copy of The Parker Story would be a great start, or even one of the earlier books written on Parkers.

Thanks B Dudly for the additional information. I looked at the pictures of many doubles without finding a forearm like that one. The Parker deal is dead for now. I'll let everyone know if it resurfaces again.

My guess is that it is NOT a 7-frame size.
The frame size is stamped on the bottom of the locking lug.
From the pictures you show I would seriously doubt if it was larger than a 3-frame.

I concur, Dean-O. A 7 script stamp would possibly seem, with wear, like a script stamp 2, with the base line of the 2 worn off. A size 7 frame- for an 8 gauge perhaps?

Hey guys: I already corrected this way above and said I believe it's a frame size 2 with the tail of the 2 worn off or never stamped originally.  Jim
