Interesting that in 2010 Austin had a little twenty gauge that I was thinking about purchasing from him and we corresponded several times on said gun #17448 I am sure it is alright to use the ser# since it was sent to me along with the Parker letter. The interesting thing was the letter he sent me describing the gun he said " The gun is one of two so far found with the little 00 exposed hammer frame, 29/32 firing pin spacing on center" and is the latest s/n so far found with the cross slide for end attachment. A lot of info's surfaced since then on twenty ga hammer guns. I miss the conversation with Mr Hogan he was a true gentleman, Gary
