I own one of the few listed and lettered D grade 24’s, mine is 20ga. I like it and use it a lot on ruffed grouse and quail. Many people believe that a 24 is too short for them, but not for me.
If you are looking at a costly gun I sure would want to make sure the barrels are not just chopped off , or account for it in cost. It would be very difficult to find another set of 28 ga barrels. |

Very interesting engraving. Those sure aren't Runge's dogs but the scroll looks like his style.....

I have the only known 24" twenty-eight gauge Damascus barreled Parker of any grade.
It is a DHE made in 1908 by special order. .

I felt that this was the subject gun that was posted about. I inspected it closely at the southern. It is very nicely done in nearly all respects. The only thing about it that was a red flag to me was the forend tip... It is from a LEFEVER.

A made up A 28 ga gun for about 20 grand, and a genuine C 28ga 24 “ for 72 grand. That tells you where collectors are on it but some folks just want a nice looking gun that they can take on a quail hunt and put in the gun rack.

And that’s OK. Not many can afford $72k for such a Parker while some can aspire to own a Parker that looks about as nice and handles about as nice and shoots just as nice for a whole lot less.
I don’t own any Parkers worth $72k but I’m pretty proud of the ones I do own, and they shoot really well. .

And 24" is the best there is for especially woodcock and also ruffies in hvy cover in my book. My 24" PHE16 is the best woodcock gun I've ever handled.
