I've had one Craig for about 8 years now. It's a GHE with 28" tubes. Last weekend I was at my club shooting a round of clays with it when one of the guys on my squad asked to shoot it. He was shooting a Ruger 20ga. He ended up finishing the round with it and this guy is not A SxS guy. I went back to my 30" Sterly All he said is that it was really cool shooting a 100+ year old gun and it was really pretty.

two 20's, 0 and 2 frame, both 30 in barrels, one Parker Special Steel one Damascus, round knob and English stocks, both splinter FE.

....or a 28ga...:whistle:





.

I don't think the Damascus 20's are that difficult to find if you have the patience to wait for one. I have three a CHE (home page photo last month) a GH with 30 inch barrels and a 26 inch GHE. A couple of years ago I sold a GH 20 with 28 inch tubes. That was a mistake.

Robin Hollow has a DH 28 Damascus for sale and a friend sold one about a year ago. They are not the same guns either.

Rich: According to The Parker Story, 3 total GH guns were made in 20ga damascus . You own two and Daryl owns one.

Closest I've come was back when I was in college, the Seattle gunsmith Webb Hilgar had a lovely DH-Grade 20-gauge in his shop. My Father wasn't going over $100 for a Damascus gun and Webb was at $125.

Now ain't that just something? This just in.

Notice found in the April issue of the Maryland field and farm journal:

"Mssrs. Anderson of Michigan and Corona of Maryland will have on display for your viewing and shooting pleasure all three of the aforementioned GHE 20's this month, April 2019, from the 24th-27th at the fabulous Drake Landing shooting park located in Fuqua-Varina, N.Carolina. Don't miss this head to head competition between two of the top smallbore shooters east of the Mississippi who really don't give a crap about scores but focus on having fun.

All are welcome to attend and get the chance to meet these two stellar Bourbon drinkers. Tickets available online at smallboresrule.wop or at the door (cash only). Price of $45 does not include price of targets. Custom low pressure ammo available at a nominal fee. Discounts available to current and past PGCA, AHFCA, Lefever, Remington members"

Seriously ladies and gents, come on down and bring your A game and burn some powder with our crew. There's plenty of time to go to Deep River for the rest of the Southern and I can promise you a good time for your trigger finger at the "satellite" Southern. If you have a smallbore bring it, if not I'm sure we can find you one to shoot. Of course all other gauges welcome.:bigbye:

I know of a fourth then and it matches what’s in the serialization book .

I think there are more 20 gauge damascus guns than some may be thinking.

I am certain there are more grade 2, 20ga. Damascus guns, than listed in the TPS. I have seen 2 listed for sale in the last couple of weeks. There was one at Baltimore last month. I am looking forward to the Southern and hoping Rich brings one of his along with brother Daryl's. I know of another that is supposed to be coming. Not like I am keeping track or anything:cool:
