Leighton I also have a Grant with Jones under lever and it's one of my favorite hammer guns.

Mills the DH is just as I bought it. I was told the case color is original but I can't speak to the barrels. They are 26 inches factory choked IC/F and make for a nice upland gun.

It really depends on what you prefer. Damascus barrels will blow up, Titanic barrels will sink in 12,000 feet of water. You pick.

What comes after this big choice?

A hammer gun?

Light 28" 1 frame 12

Or something that makes a bigger boom?

Keep your head down coming out of the crew entrance hatch or you will get your scalp creased.

That looks like Dick Van Dyke doing some silly skit.

Dan,

I just keep it simple. I order my ammo from RST and don't think twice about it. I love it that the guy's at RST are making the proper ammo for us to use these vintage guns we all love so much. The least I can do is give them my business and hopefully they will be around for a long time.

Sure beats supporting WallyWorld !!!

Ok Everyone. I am proud to announce that I am officially part of the Parker Collector family. Appreciate and love your feedback regarding Damascus versus titanic or fluid steel barrels. I will forever remain that I like the look of the Damascus barrels and understand that they are perfectly fine with the right loads. Ultimately I may have stumbled upon a good find. I found a DH 12 gauge with 32 inch barrels and tears engraved on each side instead of dogs. It as a letter from Mark Conrad and is all original. I can't wait to take it out. It has serial number 228183 ( made November 12, 1928 ) No one can tell me how many were made with large game on the sides? Pictures will be coming soon although I am not much of a photographer. I greatly appreciate Jay with vintage fire arms, and Mike with Olathe Guns in Kansas help. I can tell you there is no one that I spoke with or helpful then these two when it comes to vintage Parkers. OK happy fourth of July everyone let's go shoot!

Congratulations!
