If you insist Craig,

Yes, another one followed me home, it is a 6 frame 32” grade 2 with fairly open chokes, .018 & .020. Was hoping to take a spin on the practice 5 stand before waving the Southern on Sunday, but weather and time didn’t allow

Very nice Stan!! Mike Smith told me he bought a second 8 Saturday at the Southern, GH 36" I think. I'm sure we will see it at Hausmann's, looking forward to seeing you and the new cannon.

Craig,

I was able to shoulder Mike's new 8, it is a monster with 36" barrels. Looking forward to Hausmans also, maybe we can try the Bo Whoop targets.

I happened by just as Mike was wrapping up the deal. It's a beast.

A Grade-5 James?

What a magnificent Parker!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful Parker James!

What is the length of the 2 sets of barrels.

Please post more pictures if possible,

This is a grade 6. Original barrel lengths are 32&28. Original case.

Made in 1876 and although not stated as an exhibition gun it is about 5-10 serial numbers away from the one in the book.

More to come.

James,
Your gun looks like the twin of this gun. This gun was built in 1875.

James do you have any idea of how much constriction in the 28” barrels ? I assume the 32’s are tight and tighter yet .
