Looking for 8 gauge info

[Mills]

The Parker Story says EH/NH was only used for 10 gauges, but I have seen posts on this forum indicating it was also used on 8 gauges.

Mills is right, but the catalog tells the story correctly. If an early eight gauge is marked E or N, it is in error. Such errors are not so rare. #160,785, eight gauge, post 1910, marked 2 and GH. I have not seen a catalog entry that describes an eight gauge as an NH or an EH.

Interesting...I checked the 1895 salesman's catalog last night and the hammergun designate's 10 gauge and 8 gauge guns as EH and NH. They only list hammerless guns in 10 gauge as EH and NH. Investigation continues..
