Other projects cause me to put this gun back on the market.

What a nice gun Bob! Great dimensions for most folks, perfect upland chokes, 1-1/2 frame so light but not too light, and stunning wood and reasonably priced. If I were short a "shorter" bbled gun I'd be all over it. What a beauty.

At the risk of taking this thread off course. I noticed in the letter it was stated that the original barrels were "RE-BROWNED". Was it common for the Parker factory to describe their blackening/blueing procedure as "browning"?

that is the phrase used in the letter for my DH when it went back to Parker in 1894. I expect it was only used when referring to damascus

Forrest, I have a 0 grade hammer gun made in 1894 with laminated barrels that the letter said was sent back for re-browning of the barrels. I think the letter said it went back in 1901 so they used that name for it at least that time period.

Rebrowned is the term used on my DHE 16 (1905) when it was returned to the factory in 1910, Titanic steel , not damascus.
