It was a DHE originally made as a 16 gauge that Parker made an additional set of barrels more as an experiment than anything else.
Tha condition wasn’t great and the original 16 gauge barrels were not with the gun.
In fact, the shells were head stamped something like 20 gauge and furthermore, where would I be able to find ammo for it... nowhere I’ll bet!
And he wanted $20k for it....
