Gun does have a few blemishes because of age. Looks fine to me.

It must be Fred Selous's lost Parker?

I guess he thinks the extra set of barrels makes all the difference.

I have seen these before. Very rare Parker option. The Bi Metalic grip. Sold for use in cold northern climates . 2 different alloys of metal are used. One side expands in the cold the other contracts. Adding cast the colder it gets and allows the gun to fit perfectly no matter how many layers of clothes you have on.

Metals- both non-ferrous and ferrous expand in heat, contract in cold-- I'd rather ride a brass toilet seat in an outhouse in Bismarck ND in mid-Feb than even pick up a Parker (or other fine shotgun) so "butchered"-- Barf time, lads!! RWTF

Seems odd that some are criticizing the gun, not the seller.
I see a nice old double that, with some work, could be restored, plus has two sets of barrels!
The real kicker (to me) is the p r i c e asked.
