I'm in Massachusetts and I'm about as redneck as you'll find here.

He speaks the truth!

Thanks, brothers! I'm glad I'm not alone.

Does the Parker Story say how many of these were made?

Only sixty-three Grade-6 Lifter Parkers were made and only eighteen of them were made in ten gauge with 32" barrels.

The spring,2006 issue of DGJ has a great article on the Grade 6 hammer guns. Lots of pictures.

Good information. I might have to order that issue.

To ch:
The circular areas behind the hammers are engraved with two incoming ducks over a marsh on the right side and two partridge in a wooded scene on the left side of the gun.
It has been a very busy week, but I will post more photos after work on Saturday.
Thank you for your interest and advice.

Barry, please consider this proposal...

Where the collection is in Massachusetts, and presumably you are in Massachusetts... and I am in Massachusetts, I wonder if I might be allowed to see this Parker before anything is done to it?

I promise I won't offer to buy it.

Dean,
Of course you can. My office is in Cohasset.
