I have a Memphis shipped #2 frame 20 with 32" barrels. If you will share your letter information on yours, I will dig out my letter. As I recall, my gun was a two barrel set also. The keyword is "was".

Wow! I’d like a place in line for that one.

My mistake. My gun, #153,467, was shipped to me from Goodletsville, TN, which is a couple of hundred miles from Memphis. It was originally ordered by Orren R. Dickey of Boston, a competitive shooter and high volume Parker dealer. He is the same guy who ordered my former 32" 20, #153,333, which I am now searching for with the wish to repurchase it. 153,467 was a two barrel set, 32" 20 gauge Vulcan Steel, and 28" 16 gauge Vulcan Steel. The 20 gauge barrels are 3" chambered and the gun was ordered at 8 pounds with the 20 gauge barrels and the 16 gauge "light as possible".

I believe the 28" barrels should be stamped with a 2...?

Yup, both sets stamped 2 on the rear lug. A 16 gauge #2 frame is a rare bird and my gun is #153,467 and I would love to find those barrels.

I was NOT referring to the frame size stamped on the rear locking lug.
