I shoot three shorties.


DH #3 frame



EH #2 frame (earliest reported hammerless)





Dollar grade #2 frame hammer top lever with original length 28" tubes. A very "brown" gun. Before daylight the morning this was taken the gun went to the bottom of the shallow playa lake. I grubbed around and found it covered with mud and waterlogged. Shook it out, put a couple shells in and went about my business. Great fun!

Dean, they're all damascus (I don't trust fluid steel). The DH and EH are in high original condition. The EH was shipped from the factory on December 26, 1888. I did have the barrels on the EH refinished. But the wood and action are factory original.

Joe,

Your post with the photos was the best single post I've seen in any thread! Those outstanding photos and very clear and concise information tell a wonderful story.

Respectfully,

My 1890ish Baker hammer gun is a 2-7/8" and my 1879 Parker Grade 2 is 2-5/8". I just tried out Sherman Bell's one ounce loads and they really are fun to shoot!
