I think there may be quite a few out there. Here is one shipped to Cline Hardware Co. Sacramento, CA April 2, 1917. Its a DHE 32", F/F and originally chambered at 2 3/4". Straight grip with splinter and Skeleton Plate-14 1/4" -DAC 1 5/8"-DAH 2 1/2". Another member of the board has a VHE one number from mine. I'm hoping someday I may be able to make it pair.

Bob, what a fabulous gun!

According to TPS circa 445 hammerless Parkers of all grades were made in 32" 20g. Of course, that number is statistically adjusted. It does not include guns like my #2 frame 32" D3 DH with 3" chambers choked .029/.029...a true long range small bore that was re-barreled on a 1919 DH 30" 12g that originally went to Louisiana. Some good soul wanted a cool duck gun and Parker made him one, God bless 'im:)

No I do not. However, not many. The TPS shows compilations by grade, gauge and barrel length and the answer could be determined by that.

Bruce: Sorry but what is TPS.

Dean Romig 07-01-2009 11:19 PM

TPS is The Parker Story, a massive two-volume tome of just about everything Parker. It has been our bible when it comes to research on Parker guns, tools, hardware, household items, dress-forms, coffee grinders, piano stools, vises, catalogues, advertisements, Remington Parkers, Parker Reproduction by Winchester, etc., etc. - and authored by Price, Mullins, Gunther, Parker, et al.
A must for anyone who is or plans to be a Parker collector.

Bob, you have a wonderful Parker. I have three of these straight stock, high dimension Parkers, all 12ga's in 28, 30 and 32" barrel lengths and appreciate how Parker designed and made them. I hear the uninformed go on about Parkers having too much drop. Some do , but a lot do not.

For all you smallbore duck gun fans: I've found a small gunshop here in Michigan that has a decent stock of Bismuth Cartridge Company 3 inch 20 gauge shells in 2, 4, and a few 6 shot sizes. The price is $35 for a box of 25 shells, these are not 10 packs. That's a great deal, you can't touch the new Bismaxx stuff for that kind of money. If anybody wants some let me know, I'll pick them up next time I'm down there.
