Steve, nice looking gun. You'll have a lot of fun with this on birds and I couldn't think of a nicer gun to leave to your son. all the best. do you know who did the restoration on it?

Steve, nice looking 20 gauge. Keller's 20 gauge is a bit fresher looking than his 30" DH eight gauge. The eight gauge, although rare and all original, shows the effects of many days on the water. Maybe this fall, I'll give it another try on tame mallards.

I do not know who did the restoration. I know who ordered the letter and have reached out to him to see if I can gather any more info on the gun.

i m glad this fellows 20 ga and 8 ga are in good hands..they do need hunting...this is a good thread... charlie

Good looking 20. If I recall correctly I have one of Keller's Parkers as well. I tried looking in the archive for my thread on it but since I can't recall my password and I have a different email address I can't do a search for it. It is a 1 1/2 frame DH damascus 12 gauge with full choke in the right barrel and cylinder in the left. The letter confirmed the chokes were factory. Nice handling 7 lb. Parker. I'll have to find that letter.

now we got 3 of KELLERS GUNS IN GOOD HANDS..wonder if he had all the gauges...we know he had a 8 ga a 12 ga and a20 ga...gotta be a 10 ga and a 16 ga some where...how bout it bill do you think he had other guns... charlie

Now we have 4 discovered T.H. Keller guns---looks like a trap gun

Interesting that he got the trap gun and my 20 at nearly the same time.

Craig, Do you have any pictures of your DH?

Craig, what I didn't include in our email exchange is that Keller won a Parker gun in a shoot about the time of the manufacture of these guns. Unfortunately, I don't know what gun it was that he won. I have done some research, but have come up with nothing. I initially thought the eight gauge DH lightweight was a frivolous gun to choose as a prize, until I read about his monster duck boat. I guess the eight may still come up as the prize gun.
