Good luck on the letter Gary. I’m happy to know it found its way home unscathed.

Over the decades gunsmiths/guncranks have done some weird, and sometimes wonderful, stuff to these old objects of our interest. This seen at the 2006 Vintage Cup --

There was a fellow, at Ernie’s I believe, a year or two ago that had a similar Parker. I took pictures of it. I’ll have to look for those pics.

I will take some photos, the rib has three leaf sites, you would have to shoot this gun from a bench rest or a tripod, barrels weigh a little more than 10 lbs, I have a 1866 yellow boy Winchester that is chambered for 44-40 shoots really well, I am now officially naming this Parker the Frankenstien Gun, the sleeving was very well done. Carrying this gun is like toting a 8. ga 36 or 38inch gun, looking forward to the letter, Gary

That looks to be the same gun that was brought to ernies. I think it was 2018.
I thought that the gun could have been built that way, but chuck checked the records and said there was no mention of it.
