Jim,You have a great gun there..congrats

Romig...Is that physically or mentally...? Maybe you should stay away from anything with a power cord!!!!

Thankfully my Parkers don't have fast-spinning blades and will do what I ask of them . . . unlike my table saw which has a mind of it's own :crying:

According to The Parker Story there were only twelve 14-ga. DH damascus hammerless guns ever built, six of them were produced with 30" barrels.

Chopping off barrel ends again Dean?

LOL
Actually, Bruce, I was trying to make some excelsior-like shavings to mix with wood glue and use as a wood filler for the hollowed-out stock on Kathy's Repro . . .
. . . it's a long story but it had a very short ending . . . :banghead:


It was a calculated risk . . . I simply miscalculated.

thanks guys for the info.. i think your right about the gun being a 14 gauge. a 12 gauge shell will not go into the gun and a 16 gauge sits in very loose. any idea how many 14`s were made or the value.?

Greg above, mentions there only being 12 DH 14 ga. guns made, he got the info from the Parker story. I would think the 14 ga. would add some significant value for some collectors. Bob

With the wear to the skeleton butt plate I would be surprised if the gun were still 14 gauge. Where would one get enough ammo to use the gun that much? David

Replacement buttstock and not D grade. SSBP fitted and probably never had checking.
14 ga very cool though.

It looks like a G grade buttstock but it has the silver oval. Could be an economical factory job - lift the trigger guard and check the serial number stamped into the wood.
