Gorgeous Parker Shotgun: Angelo Bee

The gun began as a Parker PH made in 1930. At some point Angelo Bee was commissioned to do a full engraving and embellishment from muzzle to lock in the theme of a Parker "Invincible". The barrels are blue, the action and trigger guard are Coin Silver / gray. There is a single silver bead sight on the front of the matte vent rib which is unmarked. 2 3/4 inch chambers, choked .615 / .618 (IC) with selective ejectors. The breech end of the barrels feature a 2 1/2 inch wedge of floral and scroll pattern engraving, with a gold inlaid game bird and accents on each side of frame. And a 1 inch simple scroll pattern on the muzzle end. The action, trigger guard, break lever and forearm hardware are engraved with scroll and floral designs. The action also has a gold inlaid relief grouses on the left side, a duck on the bottom, and a gold inlaid relief doves on the right side. The underside front of the receiver is gold inlaid "PARKER BROS" with a gold inlaid wire border. The "SAFE" on the upper tang is gold inlaid. The matching serial number is marked on the water table and on the forearm hardware. Double triggers. The forearm and pistol grip stock are matching checkered highly figured walnut with very fine checkering with fancy Fluer-de-Lis. Wood is starting to gain a faint antique crackling of clear coat. The grip cap appears to be original Parker and has a skelontonized / checkered butt. Condition: Near mint as master engraved and embellished. 98% blue finish remains on the barrels, 98% of the coin finish remains. Gold embellishments show some minor wear on the underside duck and grouse. There are only a few light handling marks on the stock, and some light handling/storage nicks on the comb and generally around. Mechanically excellent. *C&R ELIGIBLE Bore Diameter @ 6" from muzzle R= .627 L= .626 Wall Thickness @ 6" from muzzle = .026 Both Barrels LOP @ Heel= 14 1/4" LOP @ Toe= 14 5/8" Choke= .615 & .618 = Cylinder/Improved Cylinder both barrels Drop @ Heel = 1 13/16" Drop @ Comb = 1 1/2" Cast Off
