11 gauge shell I havent seen. Talked with one of my collecting friends tonight and he hadnt or didnt remember an 11 gauge shell. Two more people to ask I did pick up a 4 gauge shell from one of the guys recently so he might possibly have an 11 gauge. My search continues.

I seem to remember a Parker Pages article that pictured a headstamp on an 11 gauge shell. In all my travels I've never seen or heard of one, other than possibly that one.

I think we pictured both a Parker 11 headstamp and a UMC 13 headstamp on brass cases in the "Odd Gauge" discussion in PP.

Best, Austin

Good to see you back, Richard. We last talked in Spring of 2009 after your DGJ article and the possibility of gun 26459 being 11ga.

Default 11-Ga Shell

Austin,

Thanks. It is great to hear from you. I have seen brass 11B shells with the Parker Headstamp. Was that an 11 or an 11B shell that was shown in the Parker Pages along with the UMC 13? If so, can you post the image? I have never seen an 11A brass or an 11-Ga paper shell with any markings, but have identified a few by their diameter. The Salmon colored Paper shell was shown in my DGJ article. I just read your article in Parker Pages with the images of several of your beautiful Parkers. It was very nice.

It is wonderful to be back among the Parker Collectors.


Yours,

Richard

Tony,

I am glad to hear from you. What did we finally decide about 26469? Was it an 11-Ga?

Richard Flanders,

I am glad to hear from you. I have tried to contact Art but to no avail. Do you know which continent he is on at the present?

With measurements I gave you, (bores .765, chokes .742 and chamber at mouth.824), I think you concluded it appeared to be one of six 11 ga. produced between 1877 and 1885. Mine was produced in 1882.

Default 11 Gauge Guns

Richard,
I posted some pics of a Parker I suspect may be an 11 gauge today. It is in the 3200 serail number range and a 12 gauge shell is too small. I don't have any 10 gauge shells to try.
