As Edgar said, there were some 20ga Hammer guns displayed at the 2013 Parker Annual Meeting. Here are a few of the pictures I took for the Parker Pages, and the descriptions they provided.
Grade 2, 20ga Lifter with Factory 29" Laminated Steel Barrels on an "O" Frame. Manufactured in 1879 and still in original condition today. This gun is 1 of 15 in all grades, and the only one with 29" barrels.     According to The Parker Story, only two twenty gauge lifters were made with laminated steel barrels in Grade 3. This is the 28" gun.

As Edgar pointed out ,there are 56 , 20 Ga. Hammer Guns in total ,has there been any documentation of how many are known to exist at this time and what do you suppose the odds are of finding one ????? Similar to winning the Power ball Jack Pot !

I believe the Grade 4 is on the cover of the Serialization Book.
