New To Forum and To Parker 28 Gauge

[David C Porter]

It's obvious from your letter that it left the factory as a 28ga & some where down the road was sleeved with new tubes. To know if your doner barrel is original you need to look at the serial number on the barrel & see if it matches the serial number on the receiver water table. Also, is the number fonts the same on both.

He should be happy it wasn't sleeved to a 20ga or 16ga.

I just noticed, in the OP’s first post, the fourth picture shows a bit of the engraved stock shield. It appears to be engraved by the same hand that engraved the shield on my Delgrego/Runge upgraded CHE 28ga. This makes me believe that Delgrego and Robert Runge had a hand in at least the stock of the OP’s gun.
The first picture is my gun. The 2nd (double click it to enlarge it) is the OP's

The gun was a 28 that was sleeved and kept as a 28g. Who knows why, especially since the gun started out as fluid steel. I have seen it before.

You’re lucky to have a Parker 28 gauge. Show us the top end of the barrels and a straight on pic of where the tubes touch. Learning to use the photo posting feature on this forum would help a lot.

I use both with equal results. The problem is when you just copy and paste in the web address of the photo. It comes out as a link like these. If you click on the Imgur picture and then click on the copy for BBS button, it appears as a linked photo in the post, just like the uploaded photos. I use Imgur here when I already have them on Imgur. It makes it easier position and edit the images.
