What a beast of a Parker! Please tell us more about it... measurements etc.

Those barrels look like 40 inches :eek:

What are the barrel lengths? Is this gun really marked P? It must be a late serial number to have that mark. What is the number?

That frame looks small next to those barrels. I wonder what frame size it is.

This gun was lettered 10 years ago by Ronald Kirby from original records. It has 34inch barrels and the frame is a 7. I have all the antique 8 ga. Reloading eguipment for it including about 10 winchester leader 8 gauge paper shells that are high brass. Barrels retain a really nice damascus twist pattern and wood is very good. Case colors i can find only here and there. Can anyone tell me how many they made and how much insurance coverage i need, thank you all so much! I believe the serial is 32xxx.

Grade Zero top action hammer eight gauges, 70 made, 32 of them were 34" guns. If your gun is truly a P grade or Grade 1, 72 of them were made in eight gauge, and 29 were 34". Can you tell us about your PGCA letter, where your gun was shipped, and what Mr. Kirby said about the grade. These guns are worth thousands of dollars, details of condition dictating how many thousands. Your gun looks like a nice one. I have a Zero grade 34" top action eight gauge, but would like another. You can't have enough eights.
