Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very good. Bores slightly dirty but mostly bright and smooth with no pitting. Barrels with some moderate amounts of thinning blue remaining, some scattered freckled oxidation and some areas of lightly scattered surface rust. Frame with much of the case coloring remaining with some thinning, dulling and fading. Markings all remain clear and crisp. Mechanically functional action, very tight lock up with well centered doll's head and lever slightly to the right of center with the action closed. Action with no discernible wobble. Wood with moderate wear, scattered bumps, dings and mars and some minor chipping at the toe where a small piece of the buttplate has chipped away. Overall a nice, turn of the century Parker that appears to have suffered from some poor storage but retains enough original finish that a careful cleaning could well return this gun to much of its original glory. Canvas case in poor condition and heavily worn.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
