Great gun and wonderful pictures. I looked over the floor plate and may have found the engravers initials on the bottom right under the elk. Perhaps you could get a good close up of this area and we could confirm if I am seeing H.G.

thanks

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the barrels of this gun are 32 3/16". How common was it for barrels to be longer than advertised?

Uncommon but not unheard of.

I have only owned two damascus parkers and each was slightly longer than listed in their corresponding letters.
Each gun was listed as 32" but each were 1/8 to 3/16 longer.
Just my very limited experience. Hope this helps.

PS

Thank you and to your friend thank you for sharing with us.

I've coveted Parkers for about 40 of my 50 years on this earth . And in that time I've cherished all the gauges . But for some reason in the last few years I've found myslef drawn to the 8's and 10's quite a bit more .

Patrick,

Thanks! I'll try to blow up that area from the original photo and post it tonight.

I've returned the gun to its rightful owner - don't want that rattling around in my car for too long. I've asked him to take a look. I've blown up the picture and don't see anything. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Sounds like an old country song - "Looking for love in all the wrong places"

Here is what I found. I would suspect these are Henry Gough's initials.

Patrick,

You are correct! There is definately a "H G" in the center of this cropped photo.

Many thanks,
Mark
