- - DHE 20ga. Straight grip on G/B (https://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4394)

What are the barrel lengths? Nice gun, thanks for posting pictures.

It was on display at Allentown a couple of weeks ago. Not an ugly gun.

Turnbull shop records

FYI:
There is a paper record the frame for Serial No. 185580 (CHE) was sent to Turnbull's in 1983 for work. No details of the work order are available.

In a few days we will see where the market price is for a 20 gauge Parker. I have not seen this Parker myself in person. If it is as Morphy has described it is one great gun. Jent

Your gun with the supporting paperwork would make a great article for the Parker Pages. Craig

Craig, if there is any interest by the PGCA, let me know.

BTW, this DHE was one of the last few to leave the Remington factory. The serial nuber is 242122

Todd, I am sure there is interest in a story for the Parker Pages. You can submit it to Dean when it's done. I am looking forward to reading it!

Todd
I sent you a PM. I hope.
