That one appears to have been milled in the area we are discussing re: the extractor retaining screw.
Why does that look like a 2-frame 8guage???

| I could be possible that the screw hole in your gun was welded or had a screw soldered in place, while Larry's and Dean's were not. It would be easy to place a screw into the hole, solder it, and file it flush. It wold be difficult to weld the hole without having to redrill the hole for the ejector rods. It may depend who did the work, either way would provide an undectable repair.

Dean,
I'm not sure what the 8 means but it is also seen in my pic but the gun is a 12 gage.

| Chris, Larry's definitely shows evidence of a plugged or welded over screw hole. Looking closely a broken circular line is visible where the screw hole would have been.

Letter arrived today. Parker # 111838 was ordered by the Marshall Wells Company in Winnipeg, Manitoba on june 9, 1902 and shipped sept 9, 1902. Order book #56 confirmns gun to be A DH 32in. barrels F & F and 8 lbs. No mention of ejectors. Whoever did the conversion work was very good at what he did, but then why would-n't he be, he worked for Parker. Thank you all for the interest in the gun, and your comments. In 107 yrs. the gun went to Winnipeg, back to Parker and wound up at the Denver gun show in the hands of a small gun collector from Oregon. I can not help but wonder about its other travels, and adventures. I do not get to see very many Damascus ejectors guns, so this one looks like it will be some fun.

I hauled a John Deere Garden tractor up to Patrick, so I took the old truck. and some shotguns. Pat did not watch close enough as I came home with a PW 10 Ga. loader, and a pre war Model 12 two pin trap gun.( HAH) I also found a 410 and 28 Ga. Lyman roll crimpers at one of the local spots, and a couple of thousand 45 LC lead cast bullets. I returned home by traveling up the Clearwater and over the Lolo Pass, and then the Lost Trail pass. I stopped along the Clearwater river and watched a couple of Nez Perce anglers land a " B Run" Steelhead. Fish looked to be over 25 LBS, and they were using fairly light tackle. This fish was a wild fish and they put him back in the river. This year was the best "B Run" in many years. One of the Locals at Orofino, Idaho told of landing 150+ fish this spring. When I got home I could hear a lite tic tic tic under the driver's side valve cover, Sooooo last friday while you old has been "motor heads" rubbed snake oil on your Parkers, and spent the day smiling at unsuspecting older ladies, this old fellow spent most of the day out in the shop with a handful of wrenches and some feeler gauges. You just gotta love them solid lifter cams. However as they take the zink out of the motor oil, the flat tappet and solid lifter cams will go the way of the buffalo.
Dave On the way to the Denver gun show I found the old fellows house out in the middle of Wyoming. He really does live east of no-where. No one was home and I left him a note in his mail box along with my phone #. He can not have a land line phone, but maybe a cell phone. He definitely has sage grouse close to his house.
