I was curious about this gun, so inquired about it and asked for pics.

That's about as pretty as a Parker can get. Price doesn't seem crazy, though I don't follow Parker prices.

From the Proxibid site I follow the auctions on, there is no mention of the taped holes or cut barrels or the wrong mismatch barrels.

That’s about $3500 D Parker.

You're very generous. And I doubt the barrels have been cut with F/F chokes and touching at the muzzle, but they are incorrect for the gun.

Tapped holes in the top rib-Why? Did the rib come loose and have a cheap hacker type fix or possible scope mount? Looks like the stock was cut with an extension glued on. Someone got a decent shooter at a possibly decent price for what it is. Personally I wouldn't have even gave the gun a second look due to the issues I see with it. If the gun was in decent original condition it would probably bring slightly north of 10k.

Possibly for a Nydar Shotgun Sight, Model 47 Receiver Mount; made by The Swain Nelson Co. of Glenview, Illinois. It was developed near the end of WWII, and marketed to sportsmen early 1946. I think it required 2 holes.

D Parker--- As in a DH or DHE grade gun? Hummm- Vulcan steel barrels (cut and Drilled and tapped for God knows what) What sort of numbnut would do that to any double gun- whether a Parker or a lesser quality gun--Infamita!!! RWTF

Bit off topic but my excuse is that Drew did bring up a reflector sight.

Shortly before the Second World War when reflector sights were being introduced for the new Hurricane and Spitfire fighters, the Air Ministry was a bit stuck to get them into production but placed a contract with Goerz the well known optical factory in Austria. Hmmm? What could go wrong?

Shortly afterwards, Anschluss! Hitler marched in to Austria.

Goerz, to their credit (and probably at some risk to their personal safety) quietly fulfilled the contract and shipped the goods.

As a result about half the British fighters in the Battle of Britain were using gun sights made in the Third Reich.

Another story, might be apocryphal, is that the sights were very hush hush and that when a German Luftwaffe officer was making a courtesy visit to a British squadron before the war the pilots were told to feign stupidity and not know how they worked.

On this happening a R.A.F. Brass hat climbed up next to the cockpit and gave a full explanation.
