I'm 90 min from Batchelders so if you go let me know. Are they doing some work to it?

Dean, I know you will be pleasantly surprised when you see the result. Your chances of finding any other Parker hammer 20ga were slim. I look forward to seeing the gun again.

Way to go Dean. A great gun and an awesome letter. According to TPS there was only 1 Grade 0 20ga lifter made with 30" Plain Twist barrels and you own it. Your gun is going to really shine after you get it back from Bachelder. Congratulations!

Dean, great gun and the W. S. Perry provenance is a plus. Bill Murphy must have some how missed this thread.

As John Davis suggested, I did miss the W.S. Perry connection. My W.S. Perry C Grade ten gauge pigeon gun was built in 1885 or 1887, as I recall. In 1885, Perry was a Parker Brothers company shooter who apparently paid little for his Parkers. By 1890, Parker Brothers wanted their shooters to use hammerless guns, and my C grade hammer gun was retired in near new condition. I have no idea where it lived until I bought it.

Hello Gary, unfortunately I have been unable to take the gun to Bachelders yet. Waiting on some work to be finished on guns I have there currently and would like to pick up and drop off at the same time. I will say, some PGCA members and a few other folks have handled the gun. There input and comments keep increasing my pride as the caretaker of this 20. Looking forward to the day you are able to see it, hopefully in person.
