Parker GH 16 Damascus-wall thickness

[Garhart Stephenson]

Phil, numbers match. Picture was taken in poor light and my shadow kind of go in the way a little. Forearm matches but stock nicely.

Still undecided if I'm keeping it. The loadings will be mighty limited since it has been suggested that I stay around 5,500 psi and no heavier than 7/8 oz. Basically I'm asking it to be a 28 ga. ( I would love one of the 28 ga. Reproductions someday). I will decide in the morning. There is another very nice gun on the market that I also like, even if it's not a Parker, and it would fill my needs nicely.

I believe I bought that GH a few months ago. After my measurements I returned it.

With a heavy heart...I'm sending it back too. Just finished talking with Griffin and Howe. Time to build a shipping crate.

Using a wall thickness gauge such as a Manson (similar to your) Requires practice. The picture you posted shows the dial indicator at ZERO with the gauge laying down, so I can safely say, it was not correctly zeroed when you took your measurements.
