GH 20 gauge statistics

Does anyone have production information on Parker Brothers 20 gauge GH shotgun? I have seen sale references that only 990 were produced and that approximately 650 were with ejectors. Considering that around 31,000 GH hammerless shotguns were produced, 990 seems like a small number of 20 gauge shotguns. Thanks.

According to TPS your numbers are basically correct and I agree that does seem like a small number.

Just one of the reasons why the small bore guns are so sweet!

Errata Sheet Version 3, 6/6/01 gives us
"Page 279, Table at lower left -- "GRADE 2 HAMMERLESS GUNS WITH DAMASCUS STEEL BARRELS" -- The column with statistics for the 20 gauge is incorrect. A total of 446 hammerless doubles of 20-gauge were made with barrel lengths as follows: (length/count) - (32/3), (31/1), (30/49), (28/244), (27/3), (26/145), (24/1). These changes will effect the totals in various summary tables."
