Parker Grade A 20 gauge vs 28 Gauge
I was hoping for a little information. I have the chance to purchase one of two Parkers, the two guns are:
1. Parker double barrel grade A 20 Gauge twin trigger 2. Same vintage, double barrel 28 Gauge twin trigger Both are non Damascus, approx years are 1930's, I am unable to determine the quality of the 28 gauge. It appears to be a high grade with a straighter stock. Any advice would be appreciated on how to determine the grade of the 28, and choice determination? Thank you! |
The serial numbers may help to determine the grade and confirm the configuration but we must remember there is missing data in about 1929-1931 or so and if the late thirties, Remington information is scant at best.

Sorry, really !

The grade should be marked on the water table, but there are many A Grade upgrades that are not original. This is a hard buy for someone with questions. You should get someone to help you.

Pictures would help greatly, along with serial numbers.

JMO , but if it turns out everything is equal ( IE quality grade condition ) I’d want the 28 . To be honest even if the 28 is a Grade or two lower and used/worn a bit more I’d still rather have the 28 . But then I have a preference for 10’s 16’s and 28’s .

Thanks all, I will try for serial numbers and some pics if possible. I love little 28's so if it comes down to a blind decision i may just go that way.

This is a question most never have an opportunity to weigh. My advise is, simply, Buy both. Twenty Eight gauge is the "In Thing" today. It may not always be, but sure is now. A Twenty, of any grade, is a lovely gun. Period. Twenties have always been, and always will be "In".
