Yes Jeffrey, they will be much harder to find. Since the hammerless guns were first produced they were coming more and more into demand. There were the old hold-outs who “would never own one of them things” for various reasons but we all know how sportsmen just have to have the newest and latest, e.g. plastic stocked camo from one end to the other capable of digesting 3 1/2” magnum loads with screw-in choke tubes. So the hammer guns were doomed to extinction from about 1890 and as the years went on fewer and fewer hammer guns were produced. A fluid steel barreled Parker hammer gun is a rarity for certain. You can look in the Grades charts in “The Parker Story” for totals but there weren’t many.
Beginning on page 20 of the current issue of “Parker Pages” we read about Wayne Owens’ remarkeble Grade 4 twenty-gauge hammer gun. Talk about a rarity...
