Incidentally, the “Little Gun” has never been sold and resides with one of WHF’s sons to this date. .

Many years ago, COB sold me an identical grade 2 16ga. It was everything Foster said of it.

I have the booklet and I’ll post pics here in a few minutes.
...well, I know I have it but finding it seems to present a bit of a problem. I'll keep looking. .

Found it…
The title is “The Magic of the Little Gun” and it was printed as a 23 page soft-bound booklet by Jonathan P. Foster, son of WHF and was issued in conjunction with the beautifully done re-issue of New England Grouse Shooting, which is a treasured part of my sporting library. .

I have had six 0-frame 16 gauge Parker hammer guns... one that I still have is a D-grade Lifter with original 27" Laminated Steel barrels made in the Parker foundry in about 1879.
