64503 started life as a 30” 12 gauge.

I would like to know the frame sizee

I would like to know where the gun is offered, so I can bid on it and report back.

You'll have to sniff it out Bill as a quick scan of auctions does not show it at all. It already could have been completed

My guess is it's chambered in 45-70. A .410 shell will drop right in and fire. The breech face should have be bushed to use smaller, centerfire rifle style firing pins. An interesting frankenparker IMHO.

The first time I visited Cody in the summer of 1980, in one of the displays in the Buffalo Bill wing they had a Parker Bros. hammer Cape Gun. As I recall the signage stated it was made for some high-ranking Army officer. Anyone know any more about such a gun?

Back in their "Lifter" era, E. Remington & Sons offered cape gun and double rifle versions of their double shotguns, and I've seen both Colt and Lefever double rifles. This Colt double rifle was at the 2002 MACA show --

Guys I spoke to the auctioneer he has since posted it as a 45 caliber rifle. I asked him to post a picture of the water table and barrel flats but he hasn't done so as of yet. The auction doesn't open until April 3 and it doesn't close until April 19th.

That auction has enough Fox doubles to make up a nice collection.

A double rifle in .45 Colt would be very cool!
